Memorable Quotes

"The number one reason the channel has grown so quickly is simply, I just kept recording and publishing even when nobody was watching."

"The bamboo tree, when you plant it, doesn't come out of the ground for three months, but it's deepening its roots, it's getting strong, it's building the foundation. And then all of a sudden, in month four, it shoots out of the ground and grows to tremendous heights almost overnight."

"When you're willing to just be you, you attract all kinds of new opportunities: wealth, health, possibilities. Everything starts to align when you just relax and be yourself."
