Key Takeaways:

"Ninja has not only changed my business, like you said, it has changed my life. It changes how I talk to people, changes how I have connected with people, how I have conversations."

"I was spending every waking minute on my phone. I was bringing my phone in the shower with me... I was definitely on the verge of a divorce, really was not connected with my kids whatsoever."

"Within six months, I had taken an $8,000 Zillow spend to nothing... I was up about 30%."

"It felt like business was just falling from the sky. And it wasn't falling from the sky. It was intentional business that was achieved so much easier than this rat race, this chase, this hunt that I was going after."

"The Ninja system is just merely creating authentic friendships with a system."

"The reason for the call is them."

"Slow down in general in life and allow yourself to connect with people everywhere."

"I am never eating alone... If I'm going to the car wash, I'm going to ask a dad friend if they want to go and wash cars together."
