KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"I think there's no straight lines in most people's lives. I grew up in a family... business was just not part of our life at all."
"Resilience is something we have when we're strong. We're at the top of our game... but when you're on your back, all you feel is weak."
"It's an act of respect and love to tell the truth. Everyone always prefers the hard truth to a soft lie."
"I had to learn that when you're really suffering and really weak, the only way you can get resilience in yourself is to start with a step that I think is just always left out, which is forgiveness."
