Standout Quotes:
“But the one thing that really changed everything for me was the constant. And everywhere I looked in the world, everywhere I looked in life, the absolute constant was change. And if I don't keep up with the constant, then I'm gonna wither and die away and never adapt.” -Omar Davis [21:31]
“Without the belief of possibility then, there is no possibility. And once you made up your mind that there is no possible outcome. Other than what you see and what's happening to you, then you're subjected to your egos crazy ass play that it's gonna, like eat you up with.” -Omar Davis [25:49]
