QUOTES

14:21 Steve: "Women tend to nurture more than men and they care more and their work is more diligent. Men tend to, I'm not saying this is all the case, be more fast-paced, bold, and miss the details. And in this job, the details are everything."

17:28 Amelia: "It's annoying and it's totally unfair that some men feel they can approach women that way. Many women wouldn't do that. Like the percentage of men that get approached by women on social media platforms versus the percentage of women is so different." 

24:10 Amelia: "There's a lot of stoners at this school, like a lot of people smoke weed... oh, I could sell cookies. So I started making cookies and brownies and cakes and sandwiches... And I'd set up this little table right outside the door where these stoners would come back in after smoking... and every Wednesday I'd be sold out."

42:26 Amelia: "I really, really, really believe like intrinsically in my soul that the future of branding is personal. And so, the way you see the world going with influencers and people like Elon Musk completely changing stock prices just based on a single tweet, personal branding is going to be the next everything."

45:50 Amelia: "We are hardwired to avoid discomfort, and putting in hard work in stuff is uncomfortable particularly when you're putting out your opinions and being your complete self on LinkedIn or Instagram or Tiktok or whatever, because you have to be."

QUOTES

01:54 "Make philosophy a job again. When you think about the Aristotle, Socrates, and all those types of folks, the idea of there was someone trying to absorb and process the enormity of the human experience. It's one of those things where we have just devalued that so much."

05:36 "We believe that we can better the world by improving the way people live through a proven way people work. The average person is at their job 80% of their adult years in 60, 70% of their waking hours. If the person is not being made a better human there, what are the chances they will ever be a better human?"

08:40 "Everybody wants a fulfilling job. But the truth of the matter is, is that anything that can give you fulfillment is going to take from. It's going to take your time, it's going to take your energy... it's going to take from you. So what you're really looking for is a refilling job."

12:01 "You can only be humble if you are confident because when you're confident, then you have the room and the space to be thoughtful about how you feel about other people. But when you're not confident, when you're insecure, that's when you are self-centered."

19:34 "The value is not in the money, it's in what you can do with it. So we ask people, don't do it for the money, do it for what the money does. I'm not doing this stuff for money. I'm not doing it for a house. I'm doing it to create a home."

QUOTES

04:47 "If you're good with people in a world filled with people, you're going to be all right. And I just always kind of known that." 

06:52 "We lived in a household, kids who went to extreme levels of trauma or have some type of developmental disability. And so, when you are growing in those environments and you start to realize that some people are in circumstances where they might require more love than you."

10:07 "Most of the issue that people actually have is not even in extreme abuse that most of them went through, physical, mental, and all those other type of things. The things that scars people deep, in my experience, is the abandonment."

25:29 "The way you fight unconscious bias is through conscious intention. It is saying when you hurt somebody with your words, you didn't intend to, but you didn't intend not to. And so you left a space for the unintended to happen."

26:26 "Hurt people hurt people, and people who don't have enough, take. So if you want a good community, heal the hurt and make sure people have enough. That's the basic tenets of keeping people out of your garage."

QUOTES

05:47 "We've all heard the statement probably where hurting people hurt others. But the other reality is this, healed people can heal others."

12:33 "You want to talk about a level playing field? Scripture says we've all sinned and we've fallen short of God's glorious standard. That's the level playing field."

13:54 "How are we helping one another live with purpose and the right pursuits in mind? Because at the end of the day, that's... what's important."

17:49 "It's just accepted that these are boundaries because that's how the game is played. So what boundaries are we going to put in place in our lives so that we play a clean game and that we can win?"

19:39 "The best gift that you can give your child is to be a growing person yourself. And... really that is not just... a parenting situation, that's just the best gift you can give another person in general, your staff, your spouse, your family."

QUOTES

10:22 "At its infancy, a glass of wine is probably not a real big issue. But when it's not done in moderation, it becomes excess and then there becomes addiction and there becomes a whole wave of problems including the impact that has on our relationships... and technology, especially, that's the case."

17:20 "Trying to find that affirmation in other ways... I feel that's what a lot of times how teens look at social media is how many times can I get things liked? How can I get it shared? And if I don't get that thing liked or shared, that must mean I'm not worth anything."

20:12 "In a world where there is so much information, I mean there is information ad nauseam, I mean we just have so much information, but what we really need is wisdom... but how do we find wisdom?"

21:35 "The more we get into this world of alternate realities or whatever's coming down the pike, it's relationships that stand the test of time."
