"You don't get to deal number 10 without doing deal number one." - Reed Goossens

"Investment strategy has to be value-added — I have to be able to come in and add value to the asset, it's not coming in and putting it on pause and letting it coast, and hopefully, inflation and market growth happens, I want to be forcing that that appreciation." - Reed Goossens
