QUOTES
10:20 "When I worked in corporate, where I wasn't tested, I wasn't pushed to the end of myself, I wasn't figuring out what my own limitations and what my own boundaries were, and then to be thrust into something where, well, now I have to depend on something outside myself... I have to still keep making forward progress."
16:44 "There's plenty of resilience, but it's there because life has almost been orchestrated in a way where the challenges are not too difficult that I got to tap out, but they're not so easy that it's like pfft, it's a piece of cake."
25:59 "You're either hunting or you're farming, but you can't really do both unless you're diversifying your time. So that's the situation I was in. Now looking back, it's like yeah, it took four months to get through that. But at the time, oh my goodness, how long is this going to last?"
27:22 "It's okay to just run in there and take a leap because... your body is built to handle a lot more risk than what you think you're capable of taking on. And things are never as dicey as what it looks like. That's just your brain trying to protect you because change is scary."
30:58 "I think the golden rule plays a big part. Just don't do to other people what you wouldn't want to have done to you. Serve them to the best of your ability."
34:40 "Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who is afraid to make change. And how would you want to be approached? And how would you feel better about the situation? Like, what is it that someone could do to assuage your fears?"
