QUOTES

08:55 "You need to figure out, what's the carrot that's going to keep you moving forward? For me, it was finding and saying yes to projects before I knew what I was doing."

15:32 "The thing that we tend to neglect is that community aspect. If anything, the community aspect is probably one of the biggest reasons why people make it as business owners, entrepreneurs, or side hustlers."

19:08 "Soft skills and hard skills are all something that should be learned and should be developed on an ongoing basis."

26:03 "Failure... it's not a normal part, it's a necessary part of success. You fail forward towards success. You don't win towards success. Failures will teach you more than any success that you have."

30:29  "The only way to get real lasting recovery is to make sure you're addressing some of those things that have happened in your life."
