“People say time is money. Maybe relationships are money. When you wake up and turn off your alarm clock or whatever, you know, piles of money don’t show up. Money comes from the development of relationships. People that you hire, people that you work with, the Value you create in the world. Create more Value. You’re going to get more money.” Joe Polish.

“I just have a massive curiosity. If people are not really curious, I don’t know if they’d be willing to do the type of work I’m willing to do. I care, I mean, I care a lot about certain things.” Joe Polish

• His appreciation for minimalism and meditation.

“One of the challenges with being a salesperson is you can sell yourself into all kinds of messes…For very successful people, success traps are harder to get out of than failure traps because you’re making money, and you have all this fame, notoriety, but you hate your life.”
