Be Willing To Walk Some Of That Journey Alone
“So often, we’re trying to make sure that we don’t leave anyone behind that we don’t really go where we’re supposed to go. I would say go get there, and come back and grab people, so you know what ‘up there’ looks like.”

Ask For Help
“Be coachable, even in your brilliance. I think the best thing you can do is live in constant duality: brilliant and student at all times.”
