Nobody’s indispensable.

In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind – in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts.

When individual members of the team are highly disciplined, they can be trusted and, therefore, allowed to operate with very little oversight.

We came up with TDE. As competitive as rap is, and as much as we’re trying to exceed the standards we set for ourselves, we take their wins as our wins, too.

There’s a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it.

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.

Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

The Moon Village concept has a nice property in that it basically just says, ‚Look, everybody builds their own lunar outpost, but let’s do it close to each other.‘ That way… you can go over to the European Union lunar outpost and say, ‚I’m out of eggs. What have you got?‘
