"When you're starting out, you don't necessarily get into the area you want to be in—you got to work your way up."
“That's the biggest thing you can do. I think is networking because somebody knows somebody."
"So I got all these certifications… I read a book and pass. What is it to me personally? That didn't tell me, you know, how to do anything. They get you in the door."
"[Networking is] hard, but just do it because, in the end, it's gonna turn out in your favor."
