PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS QUOTES

• "I'm still reshaping my mind constantly as we all are and should be."
• "You have to sell and use that money to fund your growth... It's very, very difficult to grow a bootstrap company because you don't have any money."
• "People aren't always necessarily proud of the rate at which they grow when bootstrapping... I've built a couple million dollar company. I should be proud of that."
• "Thankfully, I go to therapy. I do a lot of my own self-work and mindset work... It's the cycle of recovering from this stuff and it gets faster and faster the more you learn."
