“One thing that I'm learning is that the world has a perception of us. We have a perception of us, and then we have a perception of what the world we think perceives us... None of that matters, other than are you comfortable with who you are and what you're doing. That's all that freaking matters.” - Josh Cantwell

“I would challenge each one of your listeners to say, there's another level of their life that they're not at yet, and the reason why they're not there is because they're scared. They're afraid. So they need to be daring. Just go prepare. Prepare yourself.” - Josh Cantwell

“When you understand your humanity, it gives you a chance to understand and have compassion for others.” - Anthony Trucks

“When you finally step in and take control of who you're becoming, you start finding that that person is the one responsible for everything that you have and don't have. And when you get to control and understand how to pull the levers, hit the switches, push the buttons, it gives you a different sense of control, of hope, of aspiration, because you can actually see the pathway to what you want to achieve in life.” - Anthony Trucks
