Notable quotes from the Episode:

"I don't think you ever really give up."

"You have to have a realm of integrity to yourself that when you take on those other jobs, it's within the bandwidth that people associate your reputation with."

"Being hungry is a good thing because then, you're eager to do the job. You're a worker, you're there to be a grinder and get it done."

"Don't lose sight of where you're going and how you got there. But also be humble enough to listen to people who are a lot smarter than you."

"In whatever life lesson or whatever coaching that you're doing, that's really what it should be about. How do you pay it forward? How do you make whatever success you have and allow somebody else to bask in that and create their own strength?”
