[05:24] "Easier for me to say, you know, if it doesn't work out, I'll be fine. My parents were in a very different situation. Without that, and then doing all those things, I wouldn't be an entrepreneur, because I wouldn't have these opportunities."

[11:26] "When it comes to fears, visualizing my fear is essential. What's the worst that can happen? I realize I can overcome it, get through it."
