Key Quotes:

"That day, I joined the U.S. Army. I was only 17. I won't say how long ago that was, but I was still a high school senior."

"This is one of those things that's actually easier done than said. Because once you get it, it takes very little thought. And when you reach this point of proficiency, you only need to listen for the command, and you'll execute it without a problem."

"Did it suck to leave the company? Yes. Is it scary to consider this big change? Absolutely. But that's the thing about a real-life pivot: it's rarely the perfect time for one."
