“If we did the right thing and ran the business the right way with these core values that are driven into our minds and bodies and spirits … we’d end up producing good financial results for everybody in that circle. Fans, customers, the sponsors, the suppliers, community, everybody. And it made my life across all these businesses, including our ranches in Montana, much simpler, because the value set was exactly the same regardless of the industry. As long as you were in a business of serving others, providing positive life experiences for them and bringing people together in a sense of community, we were going to be very successful.”
