QUOTES
Justin: "When I think about me being a leader and what the job of the leader is, it's not pretty everyday. It feels good to stand onstage and celebrate the accolades and you're speaking in an all-hands but the day-to-day is lonely, the day-to-day is not pretty, you're challenging people, getting them out of their comfort zone."
Justin: "Just want to achieve excellence but they care about the people around them. As soon as they learn something they want to lift someone up around them. And if you have that approach, which is easier said than done, especially when you're trying to prove yourself early in your career, it can be easier to let the scarcity mindset come into play. But as you evolve and you start to adopt that, life is just more enjoyable that way. That's what Beautiful Savage is all about."
Justin: "The better you are at knowing who you are, knowing your worth and what your skills are, as well as what they aren't, they can help you objectively assess the situation."
Justin: "Average players want to be left alone, good players want to be coached, great players want the truth."
