INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:
“I think that one of the lessons that we take away from the last crisis is that, although it will take time, we will recover.” – Aaron Ford
“It has been inspiring to see the real-estate community just stepping up. We're not just focused on making sales but on serving and giving back and being there, a voice of value, and connecting people.” – Brian Buffini
“If I can pass on a message to every Nevadan out there, every American, every individual and family out there that's struggling with their health or struggling with their finances or struggling in general through this uncertainty. I would say that our communities are working hard each day doing everything in our power to get us through this.” – Aaron Ford
“We all need to understand that we're going through this together. Be nice to each other. There's no need for us to compound the issues that we are experiencing right now by being nasty toward one another.” – Aaron Ford
“When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
“We need to be patient. We need to be kind. We're all in this together.” – Brian Buffini
