- "It is my joy and my privilege to travel around the world being wrong about shit."
Seth Godin: for pointing out things happening right in front of me I had not noticed. For his book Tribes, which marked a turning point in my own journey.
- "The cause that will win is the one with the most fearless heretic behind it."

- "Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change"
Fareed Zakaria: for being a persistent, thoughtful and calm newsman is an era defined by shouting and statements without context.
Tim Ferriss: for making me want to be a better person. For his relentless pursuit of growth and understanding. For making 2.5 hour podcasts a treat.
Atul Gawande: for helping me make sense of complexities within healthcare and exploring the fear around our own mortality.
