Favorite Quote:
“If you’re sitting out there and you’re sick of your W-2 job and you’re thinking, “I wanna start my business,” or “I want to do something different,” or this world now with all these requirements is bullshit, and I don’t want to be a part of it and I want to do my own thing. I want to be responsible for my own life. And you’re just sitting there questioning and not actually doing anything, you’re your own problem. You’re your biggest enemy.”
