Highlights:
"Go and fail as much as possible. If you're living at home, this is the perfect time to fail, right? Your safety net is pretty strong, right? You don't have to worry about food on the table. You don't have to be worrying about a roof over your head, but you can go out and you can fail."
"Transparency is one of the biggest things that I learned from my mentor Todd at Vivint. A lot of business owners operate in the dark, meaning that they only allow a certain amount of information to go to their employees, and they treat them, probably like they're dumb."
"For me, that's what I took from the education system, and I've been able to apply, and that's where I would say most of my success has come from, is being constantly hungry for learning."
"You will not lose your job to AI. You will lose your job to somebody that knows how to use AI, and that person will be more and more efficient because of it."
