This episode at a glance:
[02:11] It's one thing to love what you do and it's another to love the way you do it 
[08:29]  Piling is not an option any longer. Cause if you let it be your option, it's gonna be your one and only option. 
[12:36]  It just makes me want to cry hearing the story of this woman who was buried under piles and now she's sitting in a beautiful space that she's proud and excited to invite people into.
[21:47] I have a core value that speaks to who I am and the way I live my life, and that's reliability. And so I'm never going to tell you I can do something if I can't do it.
[31:20] Get rid of everything you like. Because that's what gets you in trouble to begin with. You see it, you like it, you buy it. We're consumers, we're consumed with consuming. You like it, so you buy it. But it doesn't really make you look good.
