[18:30] Ultimately, they should be looking at how do I, through the people, help this business achieve its goals.

[21:58] I need to be investing in people and handing things over well before I can actually afford it. Because ultimately, I don't want to be stuck in this business doing these things. 

[29:47] If you know what your thing is, then live that and then let everything else fall away instead of trying to live what other people think you should be doing.
