QUOTES

16:18 "That's the philosophy I kept over the years to constantly push myself to get better, because I always felt my value was more and I could get more and that always held me to a higher standard and pushed me out of those swamps."

17:56 "Especially being just in complete chaos mentally and physically, I needed some stronger guys around me to push me in the right direction. So I tried to surround myself by guys that were leaders in their own right."

21:23 "Any course that you go to is only as valuable as you're instructors are. So anytime you're doing a course, you really got to investigate who's running course, who the instructors are, what their backgrounds, are they subject matter experts."

27:51 "It's only ever a failure if you never revisit that failure."

34:46 "We all have our breaking points but seeking out that help that you need, no matter what it is, is vital to your success and continuation. Whether it's professionally, morally, religiously, whatever it is, there's always guidance out there."
