"I would use a phrase from Bart Simpson. Work smarter, not harder, that's what it comes down to. Work smarter, not harder. Why spend 6 hours a night on your own trying to solve things when you can come to a group (Mastermind) of people for an hour, bounce ideas off people, learn from other people, grow personally, grow professionally, and all of a sudden, everybody's better off."

-Dave Moffa
