QUOTES:

“Luring you in with the cars and the money and the girls, but I’m ultimately trying to sell you self-improvement. I feel like that’s a deal with the devil that doesn’t pan out.”

“Luck means that it isn’t fair.”

“In the push to elevate women and minorities and all of these other types of people in society who historically didn’t have the best representation, I think we’ve kind of made the mistake of turning white people and young men into the enemy because they had the stage for so long.”

“Masculinity is not toxic in and of itself, but aggression can be wielded poorly, in which case it would look toxic.” -Tom Bilyeu

“Given the ability to work jobs and have autonomy over their lives, women don’t want to choose to be locked away as moms at 18,19, 20 years old, That’s a really hard sell.”
