Quotes:

"Working with Sherman Williams, a 150 year old multi-billion dollar business, the career ladder was forever long, as long as I wanted it to be, but there was just something attractive about small business in Northwest Arkansas."  (2:28) - Ryann Hartley

"Nothing is perfect. It just isn't. So being willing to just ride those waves and meet those challenges when they come up, there's all kinds of unforeseen things and unknown things… so when you just meet those challenges as best you can over time, you gain respect."  (11:38) Ryann Hartley

"...So [I was] running a gas pump at a liquor store. That's what small business is, it' 's not always sexy, it's hard work."  (20:25) Ryann Hartley
