Quotes:

 

“Somebody Who's Done It Already Has An Advantage Over Somebody Who Hasn't, Especially Somebody Who Maybe Only Has Learned It Through A Book Versus Somebody Who Actually Lived It Out.”

“I've Seen Throughout The Course Of My Consulting World That People Who Often Take A Very Traditional Path, Where It's Very Planned Out, Can Sometimes Look At People Who Take A Non-Traditional Path As Being Less Worthy Of Being There. And I Want To Make It Very Clear That You Both Belong There, You Just Took Two Different Paths There.”
