"Probably to just take risks because you never know unless you try. A lot of people think, “Oh, what if this doesn't work? What if I miss this shot? Maybe I shouldn't shoot it. What if I do this? What if I do that?” But, they don't think about: “What if you do make that shot? What if it does work? What if your business does blow up?” So I just think taking risks would be my biggest message to my younger self."

"I’d say not to be too hard on myself when things don't go as planned. Things all take time. As athletes, we want results to happen immediately and nothing ever happens immediately—everything takes time. Whether it's developing your body or getting stronger or jumping higher or running faster, all of those things take time...There's that and I’d also say: “Surround yourself with positive people. Your crowd and your surroundings are going to be your vehicle to achieving good things. If you move with the wrong crowd, it can hinder your success. It can slow you down and can make things a lot more difficult as opposed to being with people who are either chasing the same goal or uplifting you.”"

Professional Makeup Artist | Host, The Girls That Get it Podcast
"I think that for younger makeup artists and people who are a little bit less experienced but are looking for a place to kind of blossom…if you want to come here and blossom, the biggest thing is to be malleable, to want to learn, to want to connect with other makeup artists, to want to work under those makeup artists, and to want to assist those makeup artists. You know, come to events, come to games. Get to know the athletes on a personal level because that helps them open up on set and things like that. If I'm working mainly with athletes, then my life should be a reflection of that."

Trey Phills
Content Creator & Storyteller
"I think the best way to have a successful career on social media is one that is true to self and sustainable. What I mean by that is: you don't want to go viral for the wrong thing and then chase the wrong direction because you think that's what you have to do now. It's better to build your core values, build your foundation, and build something that is authentic because when you do get your moment you don't have to work as hard to maintain it...I would also say to build your content around the life that you live. Don't do stuff for the gram or don't do stuff for the content—look at your life and figure out what moments you can take from your life and what you can use to either educate, entertain, or inspire."
