Memorable Quotes:
“The myth is that if you’re focused on the bottom line and if you're living delivering results on the bottom line which is profit, that you also can’t nurture and develop people. But that’s an illusion because you can do both.” (5:42, James)
“There’s nothing more powerful than money in America. What I mean by that is that business and commerce move way faster than government.” (13:57, James)
“I believe 2022 is the year of collaboration. I think collaboration and getting together in small groups, teams, et cetera, is the way to repair our communities as a whole.” (21:14, James)
“So my advice to anyone is just very simple. Don't do it alone. Find people that compliment you, build you up, and like minds come together. Like hearts, like souls, come together in order to build something that's meaningful to them.” (23:48, James)
“What I believe my cure was, was the moment that I got to myself and said, I love myself too much to continue on this path. And that if I dedicate myself towards sharing abundance for the rest of my life, I will never go wrong.” (34:25, James)
“We're all human. So even doing healthy things and self-care doesn't mean we're not going to still experience different emotions or fears or troubles. It's just how we deal with them and ride through them.” (37:33, Dr. Sarah)
