Key Quotes from This Episode
- “You miss a hundred percent of the shots you don’t take. So, I think that aligns with your point about how you have to make the ask. You have to make clear what you want. People cannot read your minds.” -Hailey Rowe
- “Never pass up an opportunity. And that just means there’s opportunities that are all around you. Sometimes we don’t see them, or sometimes we don’t want to see them. But looking for those opportunities, you might be having a call with someone and see there’s an opportunity here. So, that’s what I would encourage folks to practice… using a framework like that where you’re going to follow through every day without questioning it, with just being consistent.” -Darren Mann
