Wiley’s Advice “You want to get a background in everything…”

“You want to make yourself the best as possible.”

“I tell them, ‘It’s not your neck that’s on the line. If I don’t like it, I’ll give it back to you and show you how it should be done.’”

“Not worrying about their job being on the line allows them creativity…”

Interesting?
