Key Quotes:

• “For most people, we don't want to be known as judgmental. But we judge things all day long. And so, if you're judging anything right now, ask yourself...Have I tried it for 30 days to give it a clear picture? Or is it just that I don't want to go through the discomfort that I may perceive to get there.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
• “I want you to think about time management differently. It's not always about how to sneak more in. Sometimes it's how to take yourself and make you a superhuman. ” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
• “There will be days that winning is harder, but we just need to keep focused on winning the day.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
