And that allows me to achieve more of what I want in life while also still having financial freedom and not creating debt for myself.” - Rich Jones   “When we get triggered, it's never about that thing that's happening in the moment. It's about something that was encoded and embedded a long, long time ago.” - Rich Jones   “There has to be some time that like, you carve out that’s just for you and once you get consistent about it, you train everybody else around you that like that time as you.” - Rich Jones
