Notable Quotes:
“I always say it’s really important to operate in your brilliant zone. The thing that
you can do that no one else can do. And even if they tried to do it, it
would take them so much time to catch up that by the time they sped up,
you’re still light years ahead of them.”
– Courtney McKenzie Newell
