HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

[00:06:56] “A great strategy without allowing people to use their
brains will never maximize its potential.”

[00:08:41] “Companies leave money on the table because they don’t
allow people to challenge assumptions.”

[00:10:57] “The number one differentiator of sustainable
growth... was the people in the group felt valued.”

[00:13:41] “People work for people. When you look authentic,
people begin to trust you.”

[00:21:55] “Most Gen Zs prefer to work in person, learn
socialization skills, and make friends.”

[00:28:35] “Resilience comes from making mistakes, learning from
them, and getting back up again. But when you make a mistake and
people keep you down, you become a victim.”

[00:32:32] “Ask for help. Tell your boss you want to be a star
player and want to know what good looks like.”

[00:38:13] “Anybody can be good. But how do you become great?
That’s what’s going to give you satisfaction.”
