Notable Quotes:
- “So when people don't believe in it or don't see fit, then it's hard. But you have to break that connection. You can love people from afar, but you know, if you can't offer them something positive or if they can't offer something positive to you, then there's no point in doing this. You know, their life is short, very short.” (Timestamp 21:00)
- "The more uncomfortable you are, the more you're growing, the more risk you take, the more you fail, but the more you succeed." (Timestamp 27:13)
- "If you love something, if you truly love something, you're going to be okay waiting for it... you just got to, again, roll with the punches, man. (Timestamp 01:01:45)
