“The key element in any business dealing is trust, it’s unfortunate but necessary to constantly ask, “can I trust this person?” With Richard Bolton, it is clearly answered every time in the affirmative. And it matters because Richard is on my side of the table in each deal, the one place where the “trust question” cannot be in doubt.”
