    Quotables

    “If I don’t know something and I wanna learn a little more about it or I feel dumb, I’m probably gonna get a book, join a webinar – I’m gonna do something like that to get a little more knowledge if it’s something I’m struggling with.”

    “It’s perspective, it’s at no fault of anyone. It’s what someone perceives.”

    “If it’s a strong positive fact, you usually can’t argue with it. That will shift you out of the part of the brain that holds the negative cognition.”
