Quotes:

  • “They’re having more fun than they usually do at the Chamber of Commerce banquet.”
  • “A lot of entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs because they maybe don’t fit into that box.”
  • “It’s not that we chose another path – it’s that the other path wasn’t available.”
  • “Fixing weaknesses doesn’t work.”
  • “For ten years, I’ve delegated fun.”
  • “We create job descriptions that don’t match any actual human beings.”
  • “I’m not a new person, I just have a new outlet.”

Takeaways:

  • “Awaken” to your reality, “assess” yourself, “accept” who you are, “appreciate” that person, then “affiliate”.
