  • The influence of his grandmother on his life and his work
  • The story that changed his life forever
  • That to truly love someone means to love all of the parts of them, even the ones you don’t understand or like
  • The importance of asking “where am I contracting away from things around me?”
  • How we get into trouble because of our aversion
  • The power of asking “I’m so curious about why you are angry?”
