When a young person is not eating three meals a day but still getting perfect grades at school, or when a young person deals with trauma at a young age yet still makes it to college, these are the things that inspire me.

Let us not aspire to four-year goals but rather forty-year goals.

I think leading by example is important, as I know the next generation is watching us.

I believe that it is my job to fight for the rights of others to have the same rights that I take for granted. As a white, American male, I have had it quite good. I recognize that and fight every day for everyone to have the same opportunities that I have had.

I know our kids will be OK, as long as they listen more to their mother than to me!

Stop the bullsh*t. Stop drawing lines in the sand like previous generations [have done].

I don't focus on the results. Put my head down, put my hoodie up, and do the work.
