Pepe Marais Action
Don't give someone a cup of coffee if you need a favor back, just ask them for the favor. It builds trust.
You have to have confidence in yourself and your own ability, before you're willing to help another.

Lulu Miller Catapulting Chance into your Stupid Head
There's no line item on a balance sheet for 'give a damn,' but it's the most valuable thing you've got in the business.
It's not the what or the how, but it's the WHY, that is at the heart of creative entrepreneurs. It's the WHY that sparks the revolution.
Casey Gerald Purpose is the New Bottom Line

Design is not about design.
If you wait for someone to create it for you, you will wait forever.
The opposite of failure is open-mindedness.
