Notable Quotes:
"A lot of people are so afraid to invest in themselves. And they're literally blocking the success that's coming their way."
"Your story is what people care about. Your story is what will be told for generations to come.""
“But the truth is, like, you could make all the money in the world. But if you don't have your health, like you were talking about it earlier – everyone dies. They're millionaires and billionaires. They're out of shape. So if you keel over and die tomorrow, what good was making all that freaking money.”
“How would you feel with all the hard work and effort that you've put into everything that you've built in your life right now, wherever you are? Whatever you've got right now, you've put in a ton of hard work and effort to have things you have, especially if you have a relationship and children.”
"If you're making the choice to go down the path and to become a better version of yourself, that version of yourself has to have that conversation with your partner. Because they have to grow too."
