We can’t rest on our laurels, we can’t brag about it like it’s of the glory days, it doesn’t factor into today’s work.” “ The mistakes that you did yesterday, don’t need to stay with you (...) it’s the ability to rebound from that mistake in real-time and, a lot of people out there make mistakes and just continue to hold on to those mistakes, just the same way as other people hold on to their successes and think that that’s going to stick with them forever.” “As soon as I started to study (...) I began learning about myself, and that was the best part about it. (...) I feel like no other major can have an immediate impact like Psychology did for me because (...) it helped me to become a beast at things on the court-off the court and helped me to relate to other people better.” “ I was just following fun ideas, you know, early on (…) And that’s what it was for me (...) Glamour Runway is a fashion social media network just to connect photographers with models and models with event planners. It was Facebook but for the fashion industry (...) It was working out but that wasn’t me, and one of the main things I realized (was that), if eventually you’re going to have longevity, it has to really flow from you, without being forced from you.” “For me, filtering is just trying to get as much as I possibly can from the moment, extracting the reason why it came in the first place so that I know I don’t have to wait on hindsight to reveal these answers to me, I can actually develop foresight to say here’s what’s about to happen.” “It wouldn’t be nice if life was always perfect. It wouldn’t be interesting.” ______________________________ Get in contact with Joel: Personal WebsiteInstagramLinkedin
