    "The older I get, it’s more important for me to see other people succeed than myself. It's just so gratifying when you see the impact that you have on others." ~ Steven Miyao


    "Most people are stuck in the hamster wheel, and they're running and running, but they don't even know why they're running. Oftentimes, it's because of the expectations that they have on themselves. But these expectations are often driven by society, their parents, or their peers." ~ Steven Miyao


    "A lot of us are going through this midlife. Whenever that point comes where you say to yourself, 'Is this really it?', it's important to take a break and really think about what you want to do, identify your ‘why’, and then pivot if you need to." ~ Steven Miyao
