TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1. Ask yourself, “What a pain point in my life? Is it a pain point for other people? Can I be passionate about this for a long time?”

2. Surround yourself with people you care about and who care about you. You can wade the painful times as long as you have them by your side.

3. Replace the word failure with revelation. Let yourself just have the experience.

4. Participate in your own life. Flex the muscle of action.

5. We never know when life could end. So live every moment completely lit up and with purpose.

6. Have a best in class product. Create something that works and that you would want.
