Quotes of the show:

  • “If you can solve people's problems and you can help them have the insights and have the empathy to help them understand their own challenges and you're able to care. If you know how to care and run a tribe, if you know how to do that and you can solve problems, you don't need an MBA, that's just not needed anymore.”

  • “I've always been a cheerleader in someone else's corner but you know one day the time comes where you've got to do it for yourself and you just got to step-up and say to yourself, let's do it!”

  • “Find your tribe, get around with the right people and get a mentor.”

  • “You've got to connect with the audience, my job is to change the room while I'm there so you just got to do everything you can to get that energy in connection.”
