QUOTES

Palesa: “Sometimes you build something and you don't always know how it's gonna work out. You could have like, your end goal, that this is how I wanted to be or whatever the case may be, but it's important to be flexible, because along the way, you know, things change. Your interests have changed as well. Yeah. So you can't really be married to the original idea. So it's very important to be flexible.”

Palesa: “It doesn't have to be like endless or unlimited, or whatever they can be, sometimes you can just build something, and that was your purpose, and then the next person comes in and takes it to wherever it needs to go. And as an entrepreneur, you need to understand that.”

Rob: “You need to engage first with the people that you want to talk to, so that they can engage back with you and become that ability to see what you're building.”

Rob: “Building a network and having access to a network takes time. Because if everyone just opened up their network, they get taken advantage of. So you have to prove why you're worthy. What you can do in exchange for value.”

Rob: “In an age of everyone having strong opinions, finding commonality is a great way to build rapport.”

Palesa: “My advice is to have no final form. I don't believe that when you arrive at a destination, you get to a point where you've done everything. It's just about continuously learning, seeking out new experiences and exploring.”
