According to a report, speaking on the new business plan, Jeter said, “It’s all about the team and the people you’re with. I’ve always prided myself on knowing what I don’t know. I’m big on understanding that you have to have good teammates. You surround yourself with people who are knowledgeable and experts in particular fields. I think that’s how you build any great business.”
