MEMORABLE QUOTES [00:09:44] “Lady luck favors those who try.” [00:11:02] “Sometimes people are so agonizing about which problems they should study intensively that they don’t do any of it.

And the only way or the best way to get yourself unstuck is to get your focus off what you’re doing.” [00:45:16] “…I think there’s this ying and yang of going deep into work and not being distracted, is really important but also being aware that sometimes it’s OK to be distracted.” HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SHOW [00:00:38] Guest Introduction.
