\nPowerful Quotes by Bill
\n\u25cf Whenever I set out to interview someone, what I try to do is to tell a story.
\n\u25cf I\u2019m not afraid to voice my opinion, because everyone\u2019s got one, and there\u2019s no such thing as a wrong opinion. You\u2019re allowed to have one. As long as you don\u2019t force it on someone, and as long as you don\u2019t call someone stupid because they don\u2019t agree with your opinion\u2014we need to have more of that.
\n\u25cf Look at your friends and who you\u2019d want to be in the trenches with.
\n\u25cf The best gift you can give your kid is a musical instrument.
\n\u25cf The things that make me happy are my family, my friends, and my work. Everything in-between is an added bonus.
\n\u25cf If you want to change career and follow your passion, no one\u2019s going to do that for you except you.
\n\u25cf I think there\u2019s a bit of luck involved with any success.
\n\u25cf Your own happiness is your real wealth.
\n\u25cf Your problems may be triggered by someone else, but they\u2019re not caused by someone else.
\n\u25cf You will never solve an issue without putting everything on the table.
\n\u25cf It\u2019s hip to be offended.
\n\u25cf Something you have to do in an interview very, very quickly is establish trust.
