Tweetable Quotes:

“The more you are yourself, the more success, the more influence you’re going to have.” - Greg Rice

“Being vulnerable doesn’t necessarily mean sharing something that you’re embarrassed about. Vulnerability for me just means sharing a little bit more of your truth about whatever it is that you’re talking about.” - Greg Rice

“When you share that vulnerability, an amazing thing happens. Other people start opening up back to you. When you share a story and other people relate to it, that’s where real connection starts to happen.” - Greg Rice

“Do one thing at a time. Don’t try to do fifteen different things.” - Greg Rice
