QUOTES
Pete on creating a culture whether for remote work or in the office: "Again it's back to the roles and the type of culture. And you have to see the leadership walk the talk. They walk the halls. Do they really care? Are they hoping you succeed so that everybody succeeds? That's exhausting by the way. I don't think people realize that's hard to do."
If you haven't invested in your brand already, you're almost screwed, says Pete: "You're going to go quiet, then you're already far too quiet. And if any of your competitors that have built a brand and their employees truly like working there, even in a tough downturn, know that their friend got let go and understand it and still believe in a brand, they will succeed."
Key principles of inspiration that Pete has gained over time: "Never stop learning. There was a period of time when I was running one of my first start-ups and about five years I got so busy and deep into the business that I stopped seeking mentors, I was just trying to survive. I just realized I wasn't improving, it wasn't helping the company and my family and I had some mentors and good people in my life that took me on the side."
