Best Things Ever Said
We often ask during interviews what the best thing our guest has ever been told. Often it’s a piece of advice that has impacted their lives so deeply it’s changed their entire course. Words are powerful, They’re scary powerful. They can change the world. That’s why people make such a fuss out of Elon Musk owning Twitter and somehow less fuss over Rupert Murdoch owning large swathes of news agencies around the planet.
