    • “It’s a top/down, bottom/up approach. So we’re hitting both angles of it, so that we can be as comprehensive and integrated as we possibly can.” -Kaelene Curry [04:08]
    • “The brain is not a muscle in a scientific sense, but it functions like a muscle in the extent that the parts of it that we use grow and get stronger. The parts of it that we don’t get weaker. And we can actually train our brains to show up more consistently as the best versions of ourselves amid pressure, amid adversity, when things go wrong and when things are going right.” -Dr. Amber Selking [12:27]
    • “Building relationships is what it’s all about. If we don’t have those strong connections throughout our lifetime, in a way, not to be cynical about it, it’s kinda like what are we doing?” -Kaelene Curry [15:34]
    • “It’s hard to fight for somebody and something if you don’t care about them.” -Dr. Amber Selking [17:37]

    • “We aren’t our jobs. We aren’t our occupations, but what we do become is our habits. We do become our processes. We do become the people we surround ourselves with, and so the process of writing down goals that stretch you and make you into a better person that ultimately forms who you are as a human.” -Michael Yoder [08:45]
    • “That is being self-aware enough, hopefully, that in 2021, I’m going to work less, because I didn’t start my own business to work all the time. I really didn’t. I didn’t start my business to make a ton of money. I started my business so I can live the life and the lifestyle that I want to live, and that involves resting.” -Michael Yoder [21:54]
    • “But one of the things that I think that we forget as high performers, particularly in our society, is that recovery is part of the performance process.” -Dr. Amber Selking [22:29]
