Quotes 

● “My first thing about being constant, conscious, and video is the BAD approach (Be scared and do it.” (09:48-10:00)

● “When it comes to your voice, some of us are never going to get over the sound of our voice. We are never going to get one hundred percent comfortable with the way we sound on camera, but that also goes back to being scared even though you're not comfortable with how you sound. You know what you have to deliver, that it has value, and that it will impact people in a particular way.” (15:34-16:00)

● “When people look better, they feel better than they are more, which is true. You know when you put on something good. You look good, you feel better about yourself, and then you're able to speak and talk and communicate and interact better.”

● “So just start at the best level you can but have good audio.” (25:08-25:11)

● “People do not remember everything, but they don’t forget.”(34:34-34:38)
