Maurits says nothing makes him happier than going to bed knowing he gave it everything that day, even more than a six figure spend day on villas and parties.
"My ultimate sense of happiness comes from progress."
"Going from 1,000 to 10,000 feels so much more rewarding than going from 100K to a million."
"I'll go to bed happier after a day where I gave it everything than after a six-figure spend day between villas and parties."

insentos turned $50K from trading into $100K, then lost it all on one blackjack hand on his birthday.
"I had made $20K to $50K trading, then kept going all-in on blackjack until I reached $100K. That was my dream number. I thought if I ever made $100K, I'd be set."
"On my birthday, April 2nd, I was sitting in my room thinking, let's go all-in on a $100K hand. I lost the whole thing."
"I was numb. For an entire month, I barely got out of bed."
"Honestly, I'm glad it happened early. It taught me a lesson before I got really rich, and I haven't gambled like that since."

"It is so possible. People look at certain types of people and think it's out of their reach because there are so many moving pieces. Just take it one by one.
I'm not special. I talk to so many successful founders and personal brands, and when I was looking up to them, I always thought they had something I didn't. That's just not true. They just did things until it worked. Whether it's the top influencer or the billionaire, they have the same traits as you. Maybe a little more of them, or they just worked on them more.
Don't overcomplicate it. Put one foot in front of the other.
The creator and personal brand system is probably the single biggest ROI in the world right now, until AI takes over."

"The first time we used fomo, it was just a group of ten of us. As we used it, we looked at each other and said, wow, this is going to be massive. It's a new form factor. No one has done this before.
There's always doubt in the back of your head. Is my intuition wrong? How do we get this to hundreds of millions of people? We're still early on that journey, but we realized very early that we had to become world-class at growth and distribution.
The goal is to build a joyful product. Even when you believed it would happen, it still feels surreal when it does."

Ran Neuner says the biggest punishment you can give a human is jail because it takes away their freedom, and that's how losing a lot of money takes your freedom away.
"When you lose that amount of money, they take away your freedom. That's the biggest punishment."
"You can travel once a year, and when you do, you have to travel economy class. You can't miss that flight because if you do, then you don't have any more money."
