“The most dangerous thing is perception. We all think we know the answer to a lot of things. Maybe we need to get with somebody that does that as a career. If I'm buying a new house, I don't know all this stuff. I hire an accountant to do my taxes, right? I mean, do my taxes for me. I'll pay you whatever you tell me I got to pay you. I don't know all that stuff. And I think Veterans Affairs is similar to those big things in our life that it's good to have somebody that spends their time in that space. And don't be afraid to ask a question and don't be afraid to ask for help. That's 100% what we're here to do.”
