Quoteables “The biggest thing I’ve learned in this industry is really not to burn bridges. It’s a really small but connected network.” “If you’ve built relationships with other folks, they’re happy to make those introductions to the right people.” “Coming from a big company to a smaller company, just the ability to actually listen to a customer, understand the problem, develop the solution, build a solution, and implement a solution all within a matter of weeks or months – I still can’t get over that.” Links LinkedIn: Danny Linenger https://www.linkedin.com/in/danny-linenger-3637ab25/ Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Instagram: RCN Capital https://www.instagram.com/rcn_capital/ Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/ Email: RCN Capital - info@rcncapital.com |
