I'll have people say to me this is the highest performing leadership team that I've ever been a part of and I genuinely look forward to the time we spend together. I look for opportunities to work with and interact with my peers rather than kind of run from it because the time we spend together fills my cup.It’s has this energizing effect on me and it brings out the best in me.

The digital strategy for urban and rural is different. In an urban setting there's much more of a likelihood that those consumers will have access to broadband coverage and cell coverage. Some of our rural markets may still have dial up at home. So you’ve got to figure out that kind of last mile. Make sure they're not disadvantaged purely based on where they geographically live.
