Notable Quotes:

"Dynamic is dynamic. You are either dynamic or you are not, and sometimes when you're dynamic, you don't even need technique. A dynamic person is going to shine no matter where they go."

"The biggest misconception most entrepreneurs face is how to communicate online versus how they communicate in real life because it's very different. What works in person doesn't always work online."

"Consumers are selfish. When I'm scrolling, I don't have time for pleasantries. What's in it for me is what the consumer says. You have to get to the point faster."

"Facing a fear doesn't mean you get the result you hope for, but I've never faced a fear and not had my life improved on the other side, one way or the other. There's always an improvement."
