Favorite Quote - "You cannot achieve success without the risk of failure. And I learned a long time ago you cannot achieve success if you fear failure. If you're not afraid to fail, man, you'll have the chance to succeed. But you're never going to get there unless you risk it all the way. I was a failure. Sometimes half the fun is failing! Learning from your mistakes, waking up the next morning and saying "Okay watch out, here I come again! A little bit smarter, licking my wounds and really not looking forward to getting my ass kicked the way I just did yesterday. So now, I'm just a little more dangerous." - Paul Heyman
