“Intentionality is everything—just do it on purpose. Stop waiting, stop overthinking, and take action. Whether it's dating, starting a podcast, or building a business, nothing happens without a decision. Fail forward, figure it out as you go, and make the world believe you meant to do it all along.” - Matt Hampton
