I Love How Larry Hite Thinks

Posted on by Michael Covel

Had a chance to catch up with Larry Hite yesterday on the phone. A great line paraphrased from him during our call:

“[Some people] have a handicap–they are beautiful and smart (heavy on the sarcasm). How do they get around that? You need to always have an extra motivation–a real handicap even if imagined. You need it to do more, stand out more and be more creative.”

Always love to hear Larry think.
