"Before you know it you're 40 something years old and you're going, 'I hate my life, what am I doing, why do I have this job, why am I continually getting up every day in this existence?'..."
and
"There's an epidemic going on in this country of people winging it...and winging it is great until some storm in your life rolls in that rocks you like cancer did for us...the potential for you to make horrible decisions is astronomical." -Brant Menswar
