(1:20) - The two kind of things that you have to balance back and forth are unreasonable optimism for the future and confronting the brutal facts of reality 

(2:39) - Things that you're hopeful for and holding onto that optimism is what allows us to then get into the mud and confront the brutal reality of a situation

(3:41) - The sooner you find out your bad news, the better it is. We end up rewiring our brains to start “loving” the bad news and frame them as opportunities to improve and come up with solutions 

(4:59) -  Maintaining the dichotomy of being persistently and almost unreasonably optimistic with the ability to confront brutal facts and they go hand in hand. Alex shares an example of how this works 

(8:01) - The reason why Gym Launch has been able to consistently stay on top is that they’ve been able to innovate solutions at a faster rate and communicate with their customers daily and understand their pain points
