"Invest in your community. A business that understands how powerful it is to create wealth for the community stands a much higher chance of creating wealth for its own investors. I have yet to see a house lose any of its value when a garden is planted in its front yard. And each time one householder plants a garden, chances are the neighbors will follow suit."
"That idea reflects one of my core business philosophies: invest in your community, and the rising tide will lift all boats."
"A business that doesn’t understand its raison d’être as fostering community will inevitably underperform."
