Keynotes:

“Every day is an opportunity to be the best day of your life. And if you don't take advantage of that opportunity, you're short changing yourself” - JB

“Once I got to an animal sanctuary, the animals can feel that they're free. And so they interact differently. You can tell that they're happy in some odd way. And it just completely changes your relationship to your perception of animals at that point.” -Maxime
