Memorable Quotes

"When you're the most interesting person in the room, you're in the wrong room, is the sign for you to either go out and find, or do what I did and create the community that stretches you and grows you." – Rich Litvin

"The opposite of success isn't failure, it's mediocrity. Successful people aren't afraid of failure. In fact, it's one of the only ways to become successful, to keep taking risks and failing along the journey. But at some point, what I see in really successful people is there's a sense of there's something missing. And so what I tap into at that point is, what's the legacy you want to leave? What's the contribution you want to make?" – Rich Litvin

"You can never have enough of what you don't really need. We're chasing fame, success, recognition, money, yachts, cars, homes, and yet we get them and there's something missing. So, we chase the next one." – Rich Litvin
