Brian Halligan(@bhalligan):3 good quotes from my interview with @TomBrady today, applicable to all aspiring GOATS. 1. "I treated practice like the Super Bowl." — On why he was never nervous in the big moment. He'd already run it 100 times before. 2. "You have to make a lot of bad decisions to gain the experience to make good ones." — His whole theory of getting good at anything new. Including AI. 3."We only grow when things are outside our comfort zone." — The GOAT, on why he keeps starting over at things he's bad at. 🐐
