Transcript

Obsession beats talent. Every single day. The guy next to you that you think just got lucky, okay? Work towards something every day for a year. Put in an hour every day for a year and then stand next to him and see how you compare. Because I bet you'll be a little bit closer than you think you would. If you can embrace the process with every fiber in your being, if you can fully lean into whatever the dream that you're chasing or the goals that you have, you will beat the person who just got lucky or was just born with it. Because you were obsessed and you were willing to do whatever it took to get there.
