Quotes from Jason:

“If you are able to reproduce other leaders, then you’re only going to create more opportunities and more leadership abilities for yourself.” 

“It’s trying to identity the people that have the passions and giftings that are similar to yourself and then really bringing them alongside to help develop those giftings and preparing them for that day when that opportunity might come.”
