“It was only being in a team that allowed us to get through it. Because when one of us was having a bad day or even two of us were having a bad day, there’s a third person that might be having a good day that could encourage the others to keep going and then the next day there might’ve been a redistribution of that motivation. So I know for myself no way was I going to have done that by myself. I wouldn’t have had the confidence to start and I wouldn’t have the capability to get there.”

“Look, the most important thing you’re ever going… Decision you’re ever going to make is the people that you choose to spend your life with, personal or professional. We are nothing other than really the summation of our sort of relationships. So choose wisely should be the decision you spend and think a lot of time about.”
