Memorable quotes:
"You almost start to get bored with being someone else. You want to be creative and the only way you can be uniquely creative is by being yourself." - @alyssaglang on authenticity
"If you try to make everything go perfectly, you're going to neglect something and then it's all going to go haywire. Nothing is ever going to go according to script." @troy_farkas
"If you just keep showing up and being a good person and doing well, they can't really deny you, right?" @troy_farkas on persistence
"I knew that I was going to have to do the same thing at ESPN and earn the respect of my colleagues and the producers and anybody who I came in contact with, especially because I was young." @alyssalang on battling imposter syndrome
"At the end of the day, it's a constant battle and reminding yourself that you are there for a reason." @alyssaglang on battling imposter syndrome
"I know I'm not supposed to let it bother me and I know I'm supposed to ignore it and look at all the nice things, but that's really hard to do." @alyssaglang on dealing with Internet trolls
