The real hack is how do you keep the momentum as you are experiencing and enjoying life." - Emanuele Pani "This for me is a dress rehearsal to spending more and more time, and what I am creating is very much the life that I don't need a vacation from." - Emanuel Pani "There is a lot of talk about work-life balance, I think it's a big lie. So for me, it's work-life integration, how do I want to design my life?" - Mike Sjogren "Chase momentum for the things that matter to you." - Mike Sjogren "Financial freedom, it's not a big number every month.
