SHOW NOTES:

• And it really started with my mom, my mom wrapped us up with love, we didn’t have the most traditional upbringing, but she wrapped us in love, so it almost gave us the rose colored glasses to our whole entire life, and the things that they constantly said, I’ve paraphrased now, but it’s a phrase that I use with my kids, which is, I’m perfectly wonderful, made in the image of God. (02:43)

• I don’t believe that my parents believe that I could do anything, they believed in who I was as an individual, and I think that this was probably the most instrumental thing, that for me, because they didn’t ask me to be my brother, they didn’t ask me to be in those things, and my daughter said it to me the other day, which is awesome. I said, Be yourself, always. (04:48)

• It was desperation, it wasn’t like an entrepreneurial spirit, it was like, we got free lunch at school, so we are got five tickets for free because we didn’t have enough money to be able to get lunch, and then me and my brother would sell them and then we would buy the kind of lunch that we wanted. (8:24)

• I want to write it like I talk… When you read the book, and my take on this, I like when you read a book, it’s like we’re having a conversation like and I may not win a A in how to write a book, but that was me, it came from my voice, and so I had wanted to do it for so long, and then my wife literally said, Why don’t you shut up and go do it. (11:49)

• It’s like when they’re out of sync makes things a little bit difficult and you have little challenges, and it’s about adaptability, and when things start changing what we’re in now, we need to adapt to the world. I don’t like the whole new normal thing, it makes me a little bit crazy, but we do have to roll with it. (16:05)
