5:40: “People get stuck in their competency…there is a way out and it involves being confident in your ability to solve problems, not in having all the answers.”
9:40: “Give yourself the freedom to be the one that’s not going to solve the problem. Give yourself the opportunity of a big enough community to help you solve it.”
15:45: “If your identity is wrapped up in your job, you’re destined for an unhealthy life.”
19:30: “We’re looking through the prism of a highlight reel, not an actual life.”
22:30: “You are the greatest variable to your success.”
24:30: “Nobody speaks to you more than you do. If you can get you under control then it’s amazing the opportunities you can find.”
28:05: “The collective we is more important than the individual me.”
29:30: “Solve your story…not your problem…go find your own way of doing it.”
