"The competitions with yourself. If you think about the formula, let's talk about a very basic formula of competition. It's what's your baseline? Like where are you now?" - Jake Thompson

"When we say, hey, I'm only competing with myself. This is what I control. This is what's in my sphere. I can only learn from others. It really changes the dynamic." - Jake Thompson

"When you believe there's enough room for everybody to succeed that's willing to do the work, you have no problem pouring that life into others because you're not threatened by them." - Jake Thompson

“It's essentially understanding the competitions with yourself.” - Jake Thompson
