Memorable Quotes from Jeremiah Bentley

Jeremiah Bentley

VP - Marketing & Community Affairs, Texas Mutual Insurance Company

Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. So how do we expose more people to that?

We don’t need gimmicks or mascots – we just need to tell real stories about the great work that people do every day.

That’s the coolest thing about the whole [Austin FC] experience – you don’t have to know a lot about the game because the community’s so open and welcoming.

We need to do transit in a real way.
