[01:41] Drew chased the wrong things for most of his youth.
[04:52] Failures set up challenges. As you face challenge after challenge, each successive one does not seem so scary.
[05:22] There is something powerful about the scars that you carry around because you can look at them and remind yourself you’ve beaten every challenge.
[06:10] He managed to have this kind of exciting ride that brought him to a place where he could be happy with his life and career.
[12:13] When you don't know what to do in a business situation, ask yourself: what would the other person want me to be during this situation?
[17:38] Money is not an indication that you are doing things right.
[18:34] If you make bad choices, do not panic. You have plenty of time to make a bunch of good ones.
[27:20] Happiness is not possible without forgiveness. Most of your life, the number one thing you can do that will instantly make your life better is to forgive.
[28:35] Leaders don’t care about winning; they care about succeeding. The only way to succeed is to let go of the idea of winning, and not forgiving is always about winning.
[32:30] Leadership comes from consistency above anything else. A lot of things we chase in goals are byproducts of our daily behaviors.
[36:30] Compounding is the biggest and powerful force in the universe.
[49:56] Leadership removes fear to help people succeed and politics adds fear to win.

[27:21] Terri shared about ICO
[31:43] Angel Investing is a part-time gig. She’s actually doing consulting and expert witness work to fund the investing habit.
[32:15] The fastest way to pay the wealth is to add more value to people and therefore increase your income. Increase something in value and sell it; increase your income above your cost. Use additional money that you care about.
[33:29] We don’t have to live in place of scarcity. There is enough to go around. The more you share, the more you give away and the more it comes back it to you.
[33:59] Shift your mindset so that you are coming from a place of abundance and know that you are enough.
