Episode highlights:
“I have a list of 24 reasons why cells can get along and people don't. Mainly, it's about minding your own business, doing your work, sharing what you have and not telling other cells how they should live.” - 8:55 - Udo Erasmus
“So there's nothing going on when you’re in the womb. So it's got to be the most boring thing ever, right? But you're not bored. You're actually in bliss, you're actually in deep meditation.” - 18:20 - Udo Erasmus
“If you’re at peace and you bring that to work, your team will actually look forward to coming into work because of that energy.” - 29:45 - Udo Erasmus
“Every strength and every weakness you have will show up in your business. So doesn't it make sense that you work on the ‘you’ in the business?” - 31:00 - Udo Erasmus
“We have a mind and thoughts, and most of our thoughts are unnecessary. Our cosmologies, our philosophies, our religious concepts - all of that stuff is not helpful to reality, because reality is simpler than that.” - 45:20 - Udo Erasmus
“If you s**t in your nest, you will nest in your s**t. That covers every environmental issue.” - 54:32 - Udo Erasmus
