2:25 Perfection is the most insidious form of procrastination. 

2:40 Focus more on "striving" instead of "arriving".

4:19 If art imitates life, then live a life worth imitating; in doing so, it gives you so much content to share with your audience.

6:32 This "striving" mindset also allows you do something called a "Founding Members Launch" as popularized by my friend Stu McLaren.
