NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Successful people make up a story in their head. I can't trust you because you want something from me. You have to want something from me… But what I discovered when I pulled back those layers of the onion, the only reason why I couldn't trust other people is I couldn't trust myself."

"People are struggling and stuck in a status quo because they don't do anything. Like it's, if you just do this and do this and do this, you're guaranteed success… It's just doing the little things every single day and creating resilience and belief in who you are and stirring up that hunger to keep you going through those days to where you wanna give up."

"We use excuses at our current situation to keep us where we are right now. Momentum is the key to life. The hardest part of momentum is getting started. The reason why people don't start is excuses and their current situation."

"Your excuses are valid. Those are your excuses… But even though you have those, you still have to take the action. You still have to go."

"You have to be able to hit the curve ball. You have to be able to pivot what makes you unique."

"The only way you'll find abnormality, the only way you'll be unique is discovering who you are at the core."

"So many of us can't just show the world who we truly are in fear of people thinking you're weak."

"How do you know what you want if you don't know who you are?"

"If you wanna create wealth, do something you're passionate about."

"Each one of us has been given a voice … God doesn't reveal that to us. But it's our responsibility to keep training and keep growing and keep doing, not to compete, but to speak."
