Quotes
“You trade marked an artist made and sold it, invested it into Damian Chazelle early senior project work and took return from that to invest in Bitcoin early, and now you're retired.” - Host Dave Swillum
“You will be rejected, when you get rejected, get better and come back. “ - J Mark
“Once you get three different things down and spend 10,000 hours you will be able to see between the similarities and move on to your fourth thing. People say you can only be an expert in one thing and that’s wrong. Being a human being you need to be more than one thing. Human’s are more than just an income stream so you’re not just one thing.” - J Mark
