Book cover for The Miracle Morning for College Students: The Not-So-Obvious Secrets to Success in College and Life
As a child, I lived in a small town in Arizona where no one ever left, and no one around me had big dreams. But I did. I dreamed of far-off places, exotic lands, exploring new cultures. I dreamed of seeing the world.

Brené Brown
“People who wade into discomfort and vulnerability and tell the truth about their stories are the real badasses.”
Brené Brown, Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution.

“You can't make footprints in the sands of time by sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?”
Bob Moawad

Kevin Carey
“Fathom.com couldn’t give standard Columbia diplomas to people who took its classes because they didn’t satisfy the second or third criteria. So it inadvertently conducted an experiment to determine the market price of online Columbia courses based only on their educational value. The answer turned out to be: almost nothing. The gates around higher education were more than just physical barriers to entry. There was a wall of regulation, money, habit, and social capital surrounding the industry, keeping competitors at bay. Even as technology wrought profound changes in society around them, hybrid universities grew richer and more expensive than they had ever been.”
Kevin Carey, The End of College: Creating the Future of Learning and the University of Everywhere

“If you want to rebel, rebel from inside the system.That's much more powerful than rebelling outside the system.”
Marie Lu, Legend

Brené Brown
“We live in a world where most people still subscribe to the belief that shame is a good tool for keeping people in line. Not only is this wrong, but it’s dangerous. Shame is highly correlated with addiction, violence, aggression, depression, eating disorders, and bullying.”
Brené Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
