A quote from his client that encapsulates his philosophy and remains an inspiration to Nick:

Be positive and cheerful. Don’t be the one to bring people down with negativity. Uplift them with positivity. Be the ray of sunshine! Smile. A smile says, ‘I see you. I care about you.’ Sometimes, it’s all they need. Encouraging people requires no more effort than criticizing or belittling them, and both parties feel much better!”
