Editor's note

My favorite quote from today's top story came from Goldbely CEO Joel Ariel, "To have a support structure of smart people and advisors who have been through it before is tremendous. It's tremendous for the advice, but it's also tremendous because you feel like you aren't the first. The mistakes have been made before you and will be made after you. Being a part of something with folks that have shared those experience is liberating."
