Key Takeaways:
"I appreciate where I'm at. That's why I stay in the community. I don't think I could ever go back to enterprise and have that same feeling of mission and importance without letting it get to you. Early on, a lot of us were like, "We're saving the world." It's like, "No, no, no. We're just trying to help people, and we're helping ourselves in the process." That's why I love the community." — Ron Fabela
