‘Not all heroes wear capes, but when talking about your work, wear a fucking cape.’

‘… Even when you’re right, announcing you’re right doesn’t make you more right.’

‘Having confidence doesn’t mean we don’t have fear, it just means we don’t let fear stop us.’

‘The need to be needed is like that mouse you gave that goddamn cookie to: it will always ask for more.’

‘Asking for something and then giving up two seconds into an awkward silence doesn’t count.’

‘The only person thinking about if other people are thinking about you is you.’

‘When you realize a mistake wasn’t that big of a deal… then it wasn’t that big of a deal.’

‘We will encounter hard decisions throughout our entire lives. The key is not to avoid them but to lean into these tools to make them feel less permanent and more manageable. Remember, not making a decision is a decision.’

‘We’re programmed to continually size ourselves up to see if we’re good enough. But the more we compare, the worse we feel, and the more vicious the cycle.’

‘When you think about your work, what are the moments that make you feel amped up with energy?’

‘It’s time to face those fears and play the ‘What’s the worst that could happen?”’
