Quotes:

“Treat everyone as an important human being and just see them for where they're at”.

“You never know what's going on in somebody's life. You never know what their story is, what battle they're going through, until you sit down. You talk to them”.

“Keep doing that. Keep growing and keep monetizing it. And then use it to get whatever you want, whether it's like suits, or like new equipment or new gear, nice restaurants or hotels. Like there's a lot of things that you can use it for”.

“The key is, is that once you buy an account, you network with other people who have bigger accounts than you”.
