Quotes from our guest
- “You don’t have to worry about going hungry if you know how to hunt. But if you’ve never learned how to hunt, you’ll always worry about getting hungry”

- “You’re supposed to fail. You’re supposed to figure it out”
- “The ask method: write 5 questions to the right people. Needs wants, fears, goals, what they hate and what they’ve tried then they’ll give you the keys to their wallet”
