• “Just stop saying I know to yes or I can. And that's been that's really been huge for me, you know, just getting out of my own way and stop thinking I knew all the answers because I have a long, long history of showing that I don't.” - Justin Yates
• “One of the reasons for my, I would say ‘success’ is finally humbling yourself to the point where like, you know what, I don't know everything. And not only that, I actually need some help and applying that to not only sobriety but business, and personal life. I mean, trying to learn from people and finding folks that, you know, you see doing things that you want to do.” - Ken Baden
• “If I'm going to grow, I got to be open to some criticism, some healthy criticism. And I got to be able to get out of my own way. So if my mind is closed that I know everything, that's going to be a huge problem. You're going to hold yourself back. And I know that from experience.” - Justin Yates
