What he is basically saying is success and the journey isn't linear and every company can have a different path. It's up to that founder to take the path best suited

Great work with the introduction of your scholarship program quantitatively determined by Jazz wins. What I heard about it today from watching NBA TV: For each Utah Jazz win this 2021 season, the Jazz are forming a unique College Scholarship opportunity to benefit a potential recipient. The Jazz will be most interested in finding under represented students or individuals that might not make it to College without the Scholarship. Q: Did I get that right? Just sayin' : Nice going Ryan Smith!!! Great Job Man!!! Thanks again, Ryan!
