I'm very prescriptive about who I work with. I'm very clear about what I believe. If they believe what I believe I will work with them. If they say things like, "Convince me we should do this." I walk away.

I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.

Start with why. And work really hard to make sure you're consistent.

What's important to me is that I put messages out, whether it's a TED talk, whether it's a book.

To be authentic is to be at peace with your imperfections.

Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year. I have a strict rule: I don't work on Halloween and I won't travel on Halloween. Not for any reason.

It's better to do it than to talk about how perfect it could be.
