Quotes:

“You can have whatever nice clothes, car, house, whatever, you name it. But it’s when we put the things, the ownership of those things in too high of a place. If we put those things in the wrong place. That’s when we’re going to tumble and fall because it’s never going to live up to it.” – Michael Jones

“What could I do with all of my resources, and build a company that’s inherently going to change something about the world and then live out this faith journey but in the context of my business life, all day, everyday, not just pieces and parts.“ – Michael Jones

“I think the older we get, the more we realize that we’re really not in control.” – Michael Jones

“We really believe in preserving dignity and motivation, and teaching a man how to fish so that they can go on and do more than they would ever have done if they were dependent on us.” – Michael Jones

“We’ve set our ecosystem up in a way that when we grow, we do more of the things that we value.” – Michael Jones
