Quotes:

“If you’re not doing activities that are actually fulfilling to you, that you want to be doing, you’re at the end of the day, you’re not going to be consistent with them and unfortunately you’re going to experience those big ebbs and flows in business.” (07:32)

“I think for me, the key was having a why? What is my purpose? Why am I doing what I’m doing? What am I passionate about? Being able to be in an industry where I was able to create an incredible team of support around me so that I knew if I needed to be in the hospital for a couple of days, that I had a team backing me up that was huge.” (12:02)
