12:49 “Go teach. Teach whatever you want and teach live. We think the teacher teaches, but the teacher is learning.”

13:28 “Well you don’t want to be embarrassed, so if you think this is the topic I’m going to teach on, you want to prepare ten times as much to prepare for anything that may or may not happen.”

17:20 ”If you talk about a concept that you don’t fully understand, that you haven’t fully lived yourself, you better be prepared and recognize when the tide goes out, you’re not wearing any pants. And that’s a problem.”*

17:36 ”Apply it, practice it, test it, try to break it, and then start teaching. It’s really effective to combine both practice and theory together.
