“The difference between a dream and a mission is a plan. So, when you have a vision with a plan it becomes a mission.” (09:52)
“So what this has done – this discipline, this cadence, these rhythms – they organized me, right? Because I needed to be organized. I needed to come out of this visionary dreamer person.” (12:07)
“We have our annual meeting but then we have our quarterly. So, I like to do a quarterly rhythm where we look at the next ninety days. And that’s really important to do that. Again, because we had the whole year already, it’s not as difficult to do the rest of these which are reverse engineering meetings.” (16:21)
“And this is where it becomes this cadence, this rhythm that’s just really organized, systematized, and it just becomes manifested. You have to manifest the outcomes that you really desire.” (18:37)
“And then you do your daily huddles. And daily huddles is where the rubber meets the road, where everybody holds hands, and we go heart, head, hands, feet. And the feet is on the street.” (21:39)
