I understand it can be scary, but so was the internet." "The impact AI is making in the marketplace. Imagine people who have different abilities or, some say, are disabled. They have the opportunity to do things they haven't been able to do now." "Always be working yourself out of a job." "You have to own your real estate, which means you have to own your emails, phone numbers, etc. Because when you're on a platform like Facebook, Instagram, etc., and you are one of the big companies, get the emails because if they shut you down, you lose everything, including your revenue." "You are allowed to feel what you feel. But you're in control of how you react. So your feelings are valid, but it's how you react that makes a difference." "Whatever makes you happy. That is success for you." "Record yourself. And the best thing is, it's you can even use it for social media. It's not even just to practice; you can actually hit two birds with one stone." "The first one you do will always be the worst, it's always going to be the worst one. But when you go back and look at it, six months, a year later, you'll be able to see the progress that you've made."
