Hint: His book offers a simple path that with hard work will help you rock your side hustle.

“Helping others can help you help yourself.”

“Whatever success I have now is very closely related to those years of exploration and discovery and giving of myself.”

“I take complex concepts and turn them into a simple path.”

“You don’t have to live your life as others expect.”
