Changes in my personal life are nerve-racking for me.

You know you're doing what you love when Sunday nights feel the same as Friday nights.

There are moments in business and in life when you have to say, "Failure is not an option."

Once you realize that there are no geniuses out there, you can think, "I can do that". One reason I've succeeded is that I have that naïve sense of entitlement.

Gratitude puts everything into perspective.

My dreams are who I'm racin wit but you can see I'm pacin it so that I'm always chasin it.
