Guest Quotes:

"Perception shapes our reality. When we gaze upon the world, we don't see it for what it truly is but rather through the lens of our own being. And therein lies the challenge, for understanding who we are is often a journey filled with uncertainty and ambiguity." - Vin Infante

"If you're not receptive to the info, you'll never take action on it." - Vin Infante.

"I don't like a lot of therapists because I think they're bullshit artists because of the fact that I know that they have more problems than their clients, and they're still going in trying to give advice." - Vin Infante.

"I think that there are multiple levels to self-development. I personally don't think that a lot of people should start off with one-to-one stuff. I think that's probably the top tier. And here's why. When you start, what you should do is you should go and get free resources, all the free resources you can." - Vin Infante.
