Our favorite episode quotes:
Steve, "It's very hard to have self-preservation and be generous...Would the people who work with you and share life with you in a meaningful way, do they see generosity as a value that you live?"
Mike, "The biggest lesson I learned is this: being a liberator to yourself on a regular basis is one of the most difficult tasks in the world".
