Quotes

• “My biggest lesson was to do things that light you up. Anybody who follows me should hopefully by this point understand, I'm a big proponer of getting clear on the things that you want and then building your business to support the life that you want to live.” 13:49
• “Don't be afraid to do things differently, especially if it's better. As adults, we fail to play as we get older. We play a whole lot less. And we should play more because there's a lot of creativity that is unleashed when we play. It's great for ourselves as individuals and our businesses. It's essential, and it's healthy.” 28:04
• “Get curious about the things that come most naturally to you. Because those are probably your superpowers and the things that other people would really pay you to do.” 34:55
