Favorite quotes from this talk See all
I've sought out inspiration not in books but being in real life
Two minds are better than one, most times
You have to be open to new experiences, new outcomes and new friends.
Think like a billionaire and spend like you're on minimum wage
Back yourself and believe in your cause.
