00:00 - 00:32 “William Shakespeare talked about what the world is a stage. Yeah. Everywhere we go, whether we're talking to one person or 10,000 people, everywhere we go. We're on stage and we have opportunities to present to the world who we are. And sometimes it leads to unexpected, amazing results.” — Louis Katz
