Relatable Statements

1.     I could overthink to the point that your lack of awareness is an advantage over me. 21:21 – 21:27 (Quincy)

2.     Ignorance is bliss until the whole world comes crashing down on you. 23:48 – 23:53 (Quincy)

Controversial Statements

Quincy

1.     One thing that I had to learn over the course of my career is how to communicate between different levels of experience and reality. 16:49-17:03 

2.     We need to find a common experience that we’ve all tapped into that we can then discuss and have the conversation around. 17:54 – 18:00

3.     I think a lot of people are being very dismissive of American domestic talent and veterans because it’s easy to take a piss on everybody. 55:51 – 56:01

4.     I don’t believe we all need to tear each other down to make this work. You don’t need to tear people down to get views. 56:49-56:55

CJ Sapong

1.     You know you got to be top notch in your own house before you can leave and start trying to change the world. 06:20 -06:28

2.     I think I see myself as a very less than favored human who happens to kick a soccer ball for a living. 08:00- 08:06

3.     I really enjoy taking in information and with that you get a lot of misinformation, but you develop tools that help you discern for yourself what’s your own truths and you know what is an efficient way to go about life. 08:26 – 08:46

4.     I see mental strength as a lifelong dance or battle, depending on how you look at it right. 12:14 – 12:23
