"You're only excellent if you know you're never
excellent enough" - Mike: [00:03:52] “Whatever ways
we define 'better', I think it has nothing to do with seniority,
age, or where we are in our careers. You can be ninety-something
years old and still be trying to get better at different things.”


"Brent on having a passion for what you're trying to
accomplish": [00:28:24] “If you think about any
lofty goal we've ever pursued in life whether it's sports, work,
charitable organizations, or in relationships, no lofty goal is
ever achieved without some stress, pain, and adversity.”
