QUOTES FROM GABBY

• “You know, personal training would be considered cyclical. And so that just means that certain times of the year, there's kind of highs and lows to how the business is going. Right. So it's slower during some times and busier and other times. And so banking was one of the ones where it's stable all year long.”
• “You can provide value to other people by being the one that connects two people together.”
• “Networking really makes or breaks your experience sometimes. There's a right and wrong way to do networking as well.”
