Ryan says, “Care more about humans. And as much as you think, you care. It’s not even close to where you should be. That’s what I would say. I think everyone needs to take a very long look at what they’re in business for. If you’re in business for profits and cash, then you’ll never gonna realize the profits and cash that you actually want, because you’re just gonna be thinking about yourself.”
