Tweetable Quotes:

“​​I realized then that you always leveled up to the level of people you played around with.” - Brian Covey

“ You can learn, you can grow, you can be around other people. There are other men and women who are on the same journey as you. And the reality is, some of them have things figured out in your life that you need to figure out, and for me to accelerate that is what I want to do.” - Brian Covey

‘I think that by not sharing our gifts and our talents and our stories and giving that back to the world, we're depriving the world and ourselves of making an impact.” - Brain Covey
