    [2:34] The more experience you get as a business owner and as a creative, then you start to figure out you’re worth more

    [13:14] You shouldn’t be stagnant or complacent or you shouldn’t be satisfied with where you’re at

    [13:21] You should always be putting work into creating something better each and every time

    [13:26] You have to be evolving in all aspects of your career, your work… because you want it to speak for itself

    [13:39] Everything should be evolving as you grow in your business, you don’t want to look back a year from now and be exactly where you are because if you do that, you’re going to be stuck in that cycle of getting underpaid or not getting paid at all
