Quotes:

3:49 -  "Working with your hands gives you a lot of time to think about you know where you are, where you're going, where you've been, and how you can improve."

4:08 - "Exercise literally gives you the serotonin in your brain, and that's pleasure, you know."

5:30 - "Having something to do with my hands helps me come up with ideas... whether that's for personal improvement or for a crazy idea like a game. or something."

13:49 - "I ended up producing a product for him in six hours despite just basically going by the seat of my pants."

17:07 - "...There's clearly some red flags, and yet, we persist, and what happens... what do we learn?"

17:34 - "He had me develop features that would make him a lot of money, but weren't actually fun to play."

18:10 - "He was treating me like an investor, when I was actually an employee... So eventually, a couple of month's in, I just ended up ghosting him. I put my status to offline for like two months straight until he got the picture that I wasn't talking to him."

18:33 - "He was spending a lot of money, like he was this really profitable business, instead of you know, starting up small and scaling up as you see success."

19:36 - "...They just need to prove it 100 times that it works, and then they can mass-produce it more and making the BOOKAH BUCKS."

19:55 - "You will develop confidence in the process if you learn to trust the process."

21:10 - "But with the events happening in a sort of random way, a story can kind of emerge."

24:55 - "I need to focus on projects that at the end of the day I could release and say, "Hey this is 100% mine."

25:01 - "It's kind of like a self-esteem thing to release something that is 100% your own."

27:07 - "If you want to know if this is true or not, then try it."
