Quotes:
“80% of the wealth is owned by 20% of the people… you wear 20% of your wardrobe 80% of the time… there’s so many ways that it manifests.” (05:54)
“So motivation is kind of a funny word. Like, when people call me a motivational speaker, I cringe a little bit because I understand that you can be motivated by external factors. You can want your parents to be proud. You can want your friends to be proud. You can be motivated by Tony Robbins and jump up and down at his seminar. Those are all real things.” (16:00)
“But then I’ll say, but wouldn’t it be better to start with a smart goal? Like, instead of I’m going to learn conversational Japanese? Like, who knows when you’re done doing that by this date. What if you just said, I will be able to introduce myself in Japanese in social and business settings by November 1?” (18:45)
