Important quotes from David Senra and Mitchell Baldridge:
"People don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. And so like we could write a book on this two-hour or whatever long conversation we've had and every single person's going to have a different perspective."
— David Senra
"I'm here to be the best in the world at what I'm doing. And then you get around other people like that. Like we just talked about Mike Ovitz. You think he was optimizing for days on the golf course?"
— David Senra
“I wake up every day more obsessed to the point where, like, if this continues, we're going to have to be concerned about me. And what I love is I'm really trying to go after it.”
— David Senra
"Books don't have to make money to make you money."
— Mitchell Baldridge
"Mute the world and build your own world and it's like part of building your own world you don't want to start from zero like a feral child in the middle of the woods."
— Mitchell Baldridge
