"“Martin is the one I’m really interested in. I know he has something unique to say. I respect what he does, and his approach to the business. He works the way I do, except he’s a lot more technical. His knowledge of the technological aspect is so vast that I don’t think he understands the scope of what he knows! Martin is the microphone guru of life.”"
