"We're very micro-economic focused and focused on a deal by deal basis." "We do what we say we're gonna do and I think that by taking that approach, we become a great liquidity provider to a lot of sellers who are looking for surety of close." "I'm just trying to learn information and input that information to analysis, it's not that hard."
