“With Twitter you have access to literally almost everybody that you could ever think about and their thoughts. And, I’ve realized the more people I follow in that lane of entrepreneurship, you start to see people doing things.” (13:21) (Ponyboy Pol) “I just became a fan of [podcasts] because of the information and the ability to get intimate with someone you never met but you know all about them because you’re listening to them every week.” (19:50) (Ponyboy Pol) “It’s been actually good to humble myself and really learn from the people who are doing it. Sometimes when you get egotistical or cocky, that actually prevents you from learning and being that student.” (31:39) (Ponyboy Pol) “Ideally what I want to do is have a platform where everything I’m doing is benefiting either my generation or the next generation.” (34:48) (Ponyboy Pol) “If we could all just empathize a little bit more, man, the world would be amazing.” (52:16) (Ponyboy Pol)
