McVay's insight: "Our culture is how we act, interact, and respond."

McVay said, "It's not about challenging guys to regurgitate our core values, it's how do we live this?"
It's about living it through: H.E.A.R.T.

A = Accountability
"You take accountability and then you keep it moving."
Accountability means taking ownership and following through. It's living the standard and holding people to the standard.
