Legendary Quotes:

“ Ever since I've let go of this mindset of I have to be everything to everybody, and I have to be a certain thing to get certain things, and the more I've been myself, the more good things have happened to me. I've been surrounded by the right people, the right opportunities found me.” – James Martin

“ So, nobody, if we're honest here, needs a fucking logo. If we're really honest, they want what the logo is going to do for them.” – James Martin

“ If you want to get chosen and become irreplaceable, you have to start curating your taste outside of your industry because that's the thing that's going to make you stand out. Otherwise, you're just going to mold into the sameness and be replaced.” – James Martin

“If I could leave people with anything, it would be to really focus on the clients that you have and had, and be of service to them as much as physically possible.” – James Martin
