Key Quotes "When you voice your far and realize that other people share that fear, suddenly it diminishes.""I always think when the unexpected happens, when you're winging it, so to speak, and your heart's racing, it's how you manage your emotions that really makes the difference.""I'm a great believer that in the end, we probably don't really wing much in life because we're using our earlier experiences, even if they're not directly relevant or exactly the same, we've built some skillset or confidence or mindset that helps us in these situations that we hadn't planned for."
