Notable Quotes

“Those failures, I look at them now and say, ‘What a wonderful experience I got out of them,’ because they really helped me to solidify what to not do again.”
– Mike Ashie

“There wasn’t a push to say go to school, get a good job, but there also wasn’t a push to use my creative outlet. I was just free to come up with ideas on my own, which is why I was able to have so many failures because I thought, this idea is the next big the one that’s going to the moon, but I have a family that keeps me balanced enough that a failure is not the end of the world—like, don’t do anything foolish because you didn’t succeed in this and learn from it.”
– Mike Ashie

“It’s standard business practice that if you’re starting a business, do not try to talk to everybody because you’re talking to nobody. Share your values, share your opinions, share your thoughts, feelings.”

                                                – Mike Ashie
