Quotes:

• "Building your foundation is work. Training takes work. Figuring out your nutrition takes work. A lot of this takes energy and work."
• "If you are doing things that you don’t want to do and you’re forcing it, that is going to create friction. The friction and the forcing leak energy."
• "Pleasure. Experience seeking out and experiencing pleasure and allowing us to fall into our desires and seek things out that we desire and actually give ourselves those things and experience pleasure, joy, and space."
