Snippets From The Episode

“You don't have to be the best of everything. But you do want to be remembered as somebody that is, heads down, moving the ball forward, solving problems, making the hurdles where there need to be made. Those are the things that people look back for." - Barclay Ridge
"Frankly, the biggest thing as an independent is if you're not billing, you're not bringing home a dollar. So, the more prepared you are for that, the busier you can be." - Brent Broussard
"It is about staying busy. That's sort of your first priority. But it also is about finding quality projects that you enjoy doing." - Barclay Ridge
"As you're looking for more work, you really need to know what you're good at doing." - Barclay Ridge
"Be confident in the things you know. Be honest about your limitations." - Barclay Ridge
