Quotes:

“My dad always taught me like you got to work hard. If you don't have the money, you better have the time. And so, there were certain principles that were drilled into my head, you work hard, you do your best you show up”.

“The number one reason why freelancers come to me is because they can't consistently get clients or they're struggling to create the machine that basically feeds your business”.

“My biggest passion is getting people to create and then enforce their business by design”.

“I used to have to do what it takes to make money. And I won't do that anymore, ever again”.

“The major value in unfiltered is that I'm going to share with you exactly how to succeed by breaking all the rules that society has given you. Things like you have to hustle, you have to ignore your kids, you have to look the part, tuck the part, etcetera. You have to wear a blazer, hide your mess and forget the rest”.
