Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Be brave. Break down. Crack up. Be free.

2. Do your best to interrupt your auto-pilot. We tend to not think about intentionally reflecting on what values, ideas, or fears are driving our choices and actions.

3. Preparation is awesome, but it’s not great when preparation seems like perfectionism, and then ends up keeping us from ever launching whatever it is.
