what doesn't kill you not only make you stronger, but also more honest.

I've always been a big believer in the power of place. I believe that where we are affects who we are when it comes to happiness, spirituality, economics and creative genius.

Joseph Campbell, who when asked what spiritual practice he followed said, "I underline books." Me too.

People don't go to Starbucks for the coffee - of that I'm pretty sure - they go for the atmosphere, they go for the 70 decibels, they go for the Starbucks effect.

Believing in everything looks a lot like believing in nothing.

Genius is not only a what or a who, it is a where. It is grounded in a place every single time.

Where we are is vital to who we are.
