Tweetable Quotes
"I think the interesting thing about growing up in a rural area is that you're generally expected to know how to do things. I can drive a tractor, change brakes, and even replace an engine. It's just part of the lifestyle."
"When I started my podcast, I didn't have a plan. I was reading a lot of personal development books and thought, wouldn't it be cool to learn from the authors? It wasn't about making money; it was about having meaningful conversations."
"The pandemic was a turning point for me. I saw a lot of poor management and encroachment on civil rights. I realized that talking to another best-selling author wasn't going to address these issues. I wanted to have real conversations about what's happening in the world and how to navigate it."
