Decision Quote by Patrick Cantlay

“If I have a tough decision to make, a complex issue I'm trying to navigate, I'll call four or five people that I think are the smartest in that subject matter. I might have 25 to 30 percent of the picture filled in. By the time I'm finished talking to those people, I might have 90 or 95 percent.” quote by Patrick Cantlay
