When I get angry, it's with purpose. My purpose is to solve a problem. And I never lose sight of that.

I don’t embrace excuses. I embrace solutions.

Can I be cocky for a second? If I hit a home run 80 percent of the times, and you want to talk about the 20 times I miss swinging the bat, I’m okay with that.

If you had a dime for every excuse you made, I wouldn't have to be here right now.

If you're not passionate, you achieve mediocrity

Your ‘brand’ is what your customers think of you, not what you think of you.

The greatest gift of leadership is a boss who wants you to be successful.

When I talk to idiots, I get loud!

Fixing bars is easy. Fixing people is tough.

I'm very involved in all of my social media activities. I'm not an actor. I play myself, and I take that very seriously.

No matter how far society “progresses,” our thirst for community and connection will never diminish. Bars satisfy this need.

You can be inspired externally but when it comes down to achieving your lofty goals it's all personal determination which is internal derived from the eternal.

Sometimes the most brilliant and intelligent minds do not shine in standardized tests because they do not have standardized minds.

To become romantic artists, we must pierce the armor that hides our hearts, and the piercing is not comfortable.

Life is all getting used to what you're not used to.

Life is a garden. It is an opportunity. You can grow weeds, you can grow roses; it all depends on you.

Both the forces of good and evil will keep the universe alive for us, until we awake from our dreams and give up this building of mud pies.
