Because it has accelerated my career ten fold. I wouldn’t be even halfway to where I am without my willingness to move. Moving essentially has been an investment for my future.

It’s not for everyone. But I know a lot of people in Utah who have stayed there and their careers have taken a long time to accelerate.
