A few quotes from this episode:

Every experience you have, the good and the bad, teaches you something.
You can always change your circumstances.
No one creates success alone.
You have to have a sense of where you want to go and the courage to say it out loud.
It’s the roads that we don’t take that give us the greatest regret.
To never have tried is far worse than trying and not making it.
As a leader, you have to connect people to a common belief.
Give people and excuse to say YES!
Don’t let the 20% of negative people distract you from serving the 80% of positive people.
You have to create a positive belief system.
If you want success, you have a stake in achieving success.
Dedication, determination and effort really matter.
Remember who you are and what you bring to the table.
