QUOTES
Kris: “I don't think you ever do chill. I think, in some capacity the object of obtaining success in whatever fashion you feel it is, is to give back and bring back people, tell people who don't know to come along with you. What's being successful if you're on a boat by yourself?”
Brian: “When do you feel good about what you've accomplished? Can you have a perpetual state of accomplishment in your heart? Can you have a perpetual state of joy for all of the things that you've accomplished, coinciding with the restless pursuit of excellence?”
Kris: "That's the ultimate state of joy and happiness: when you're doing something that you wanna do, you're good at it, and you're able to make a living off of it, you're in a perpetual state of happiness. You're not even thinking of relaxing."
Kris: “I'm totally okay giving it my all in something to create a bit of life for myself and failing at it than not trying, staying in the rat race, than when I'm 80, I'm like 'I should have just went for it' but I didn't. Why, because I thought my peers were gonna judge me.”
Kris: “I don't think success has anything to do with the dollar amount. I think it's are you continually happy with your lifestyle, regardless of what it is. Some people may want to have that huge fleet and million dollars and that's fine. But if I have the life that I like, it's not cumbersome, I can do what I want, I'm making money not only to cover what I have to cover but do a little bit of what I want to, you're in heaven.”
Kris: "It's almost like reading 10,000 books on boxing. Until you step in that ring to actually practice it, you don't know how to box. You just know about it. A lot of people know exactly what to do, they just never act on the information."
Brian: "It seems like I haven't seen one lazy person in this show. Every single one of them, regardless of their industry, is extremely driven to achieve in the industry that they are currently in. I don't know if that's an innate attribute of the people, or if everyone is capable of achieving it if you find your purpose, but regardless, however they got to that mind state, it's there. These people work hard."
