"How would your business be better if you could actually read minds?"
"When the whole world is zigging, I like to zag."

"Even the highest performers still need coaches."
"My life goal is to trade up to more and more interesting problems every year."
"Our environments influence and affect us just as much as we influence and affect our environments."
"Your brain runs on as much energy as the light bulb in your fridge."
"Magic shows walk you up to the limit of your understanding, and then point out into the distance and go 'that's where I live.'"
"Fail fast. The only time you learn is when you're uncomfortable and learning something new."
