Key Quote:
“There’s 1,000,001 different ways to be a man in 2021 heading in 2022. But myself and the community that we’re building, we’re planting a flag and saying, This is the man that we want to be. And if it’s not for you, best wishes, take care, all the love, but if it is for you, come on in.” – Alex Weber
Be Brave and Go For What You Want with Alex Weber
“We can do things, even if we fail at it, suck at it. People judge us. Our internal judgment is going up and saying ‘Stop. Back away. We don’t really want this.’ even though we do…So that begins with bravery to be honest and simply said, ‘You know what? I want this.’.” – Alex Weber
