“If you have fear that’s affecting you, there’s no way that you can feel like a great CEO when you know that you’re not addressing the behaviors that actually weaken your business.” (24:02)

“We use logic to justify our thinking. So, we’re typically blind to our fears.” (29:16)

“Often what I’ve observed is we maintain status quo networks, comfort zone networks… And, the truth of the matter is, in many cases, you’ve become among the most expensive houses in all of your neighborhoods. And then you wonder why you’re not growing as fast as you want to grow.” (34:47)

“Purposefulness is a chronically under-utilized resource, often at great expense.” (39:30)
