Gay Gaddis

"I try to find people who shore up my weaknesses"

"We get so stuck on our own viewpoints — we need help to be shown other options"

"If it’s the right thing to do, you push your qualms aside and you do it"

"Leadership does not come from the top down,Gaddis said. It comes from the bottom up"

"Go with your gut but use your brain"

"Hard work, knowing my personal power and working with an extremely talented and dedicated team is a big part of my success…After reinventing myself many times over, it is a great honor to be on the cover of Texas CEO Magazine with the hopes of inspiring other businessmen and -women to take big leaps in their lives and careers"

"If someone calls me authentic, that’s the biggest compliment they could give to me"

"You need ‘rough riders’ in your life – the people who will shoot straight with you. They can call bullshit on you, they can tell you how great you are"
