Quotes:
“The best way to find out what that dream is, what that aspiration is, is to look back at your childhood and reflect on what motivated you as a child. What type of play did you engage in? And what type of atmosphere did you thrive in? Even if that atmosphere was sports, you know, what in itself with the sporting that you chose, what motivated you? OK, what drew you to that sport? That in itself can reveal something about you and your passion.” (11:04 | Scott Asmar)
 
“I believe that whatever drove us as a child, whatever we engaged in our play as a child, as adolescent, whatever we thought, whatever we felt gave us this energy, I don't think really ever leaves no matter what path we decide to take. And I believe that we need to find a way, especially in midlife, especially with the midlife man, that it's okay to go back and find that passion and look at that passion and foster it now and foster it and give it some life in a physically and mentally healthy way.” (15:37 | Scott Asmar)
 
“Many go through life looking at everything, yet seeing nothing. And I want you to see everything.” (17:40 | Scott Asmar)
