Power Quotes From The Show
Emotional Regulation
"The ultimate superpower that a human can have is emotional regulation. It's that ability to stop yourself from shoving somebody's face into a urinal. That is actually more strength than actually doing. There's another level of strength above being able to be the guy that does that that makes you the guy who has the ability to do it but doesn't." - Moha Bensofia
Prefrontal Cortex Blood Flow
"There's a study that's been done in Sweden on violent defenders. The one thing they all have in common is that they have a lack of oxygenated blood flow to the prefrontal cortex. Being able to control that, being able to tap into these things at will is a powerful skill to have. It's life-changing. The person that can turn that off and walk away from a problem and the person that can't, have very different outcomes and very different lives. That's the difference between being awarded and celebrated for achievements vs ending up in prison." - Moha Bensofia
How To Be A Good CEO
"To be a good CEO you need three things:
- You need to listen and you need to learn. Don't make this about you and your ego. Surround yourself with smart people and learn from them.
- You need to care. Part of your job is to care about your team, the users, and the investors. Just care.
- You need to communicate. You know how to talk. It's so simple to be a CEO." - Moha Bensofia
