Key Quotes from the Episode:

"Now I've tasted some success and I want to do it on a larger scale."

"If someone is afraid of failing fast, they will not go get those experience and they're more likely to be tentative early on, which leads to reduced output and reduced experiences of what they're doing."

"When work becomes all you're focused on, and you're all in on it. It's so easy to let your personal development and your health slide away."

"It's a powerful thing to remember the good times. It's so easy to get stuck in this negative spiral of thoughts that can make it a harder hill to climb back to get to that level of performance that you're trying for."

"Your language matters. Your thoughts matter and they impact each other. It's good to be aware of how your language is impacting the people that you're interacting with."
