But I think I've got a new favorite: instead of 'what if,' the two words that Penny introduced me to were 'what else?'" – Paul[00:02:42] "I love this concept of 'what else' instead of 'what if?' because 'what if' certainly leads you to a blank canvas, but 'what else' makes me literally feel like a list. It can expand our mindsets, expand our perspectives, and give us a fresh lens." – Paul[00:04:09] "Thank you, Penny, from the bottom of our hearts.
