[00:01:20] "In the spirit of growth, in the spirit of innovation, I've always been taught and trained to say things like 'what if?' But I think I've got a new favorite: instead of 'what if,' the two words that Penny introduced me to were 'what else?'" – Paul
[00:02:42] "I love this concept of 'what else' instead of 'what if?' because 'what if' certainly leads you to a blank canvas, but 'what else' makes me literally feel like a list. It can expand our mindsets, expand our perspectives, and give us a fresh lens." – Paul
[00:04:09] "Thank you, Penny, from the bottom of our hearts. I have already implemented this practice of asking myself 'what else?' and I've unlocked new options and alternatives. It's taken me to a level where I can make better decisions faster." – Paul
