- The importance of starting with the "why, who, what, and when" during conflict resolution, rather than jumping to "how much" or "how."

- Fairly distributing profits among multiple investors.

- How business owners can identify their objectives and create a strategy for their exit. 

- The importance of purpose and fulfillment in life, rather than just wealth or time.
