His years as a sales leader prepared him with experience in managing people and building new territory, skills that he now leverages as an entrepreneur. Brice believes in the servant leadership mindset, and in taking that leap of faith, even with considerable risks on the horizon. After all, at the end of the day, you miss 100% of the shots you didn’t make.

QUOTES

Brice: "Everyone doesn't have to like you and want to hang out with you ad have drinks with you, but they have to respect you. And each person, you gain that respect differently."

Brice: "A lot of sales managers that come in and try to lead with authority fail. Because at the end of the day, sales people know that they're the fuel to the organization. You have a top salesperson, if they treat everybody with respect and they're good to the company, they could call the CEO and be like, here's what's going on. They have a lot of authority, I mean, they're bringing in the money."

Brice: "I know a lot of salespeople that do well and they invest in real estate, they invest in the stock market, they invest in all these different things to grow that. Hey I've got a big commission check, what do I with this money? My salary is kind of paying the bills, what do I do with this money? And when you really think about it, like you're investing in Microsoft and Apple, and real estate property, whatever rental property, right? Think if you invest it in yourself. Think if you took that pot of money and said, I'm gonna start a business. Worst case scenario is that you might lose the money just like you might lose it in a speculative stock."
