Earth isn’t really a planet; it’s a planet ocean.
Most people underestimate the GDP of the world’s oceans.
The GDP of oceans is about $3.1 trillion per annum, which is about 3% of the world’s GDP.
Almost half the people on the planet depend on the oceans for their livelihood.
15% of global protein comes from fish.
Humans need to be incentivized to stop taking the oceans for granted.
Several types of small-scale fishers are always overlooked and rarely given voice.
If you have a grand vision but no metrics, you won’t know where you’re going.
Initiatives created without consulting the community won’t fit.
The real art in a solution is making it appropriate to local needs.
You can take problems and turn them into solutions.

Show Notes:
Teenagers can’t even imagine a 25-year goal, but they can still dare to dream big.
Do something small every day that will get you closer to your big goal.
Don’t start with marketing. Start by going out and selling to the customer.
If you’re too stuck in your own mindset, you won’t dare to ask for help.
If you can’t figure out a solution, ask someone who’s done it before, and do what they did.
To fill challenging roles, you need to find people who enjoy those challenges.
If you challenge people, that can provide inspiration and energy.
Sharing your challenges is the way you grow.
The more time you take completely off work, the more you’re rejuvenated.
In general, people underestimate how much you get done when you’re doing the work you’re meant to do.

Show Notes:
Taking time off means you can be really on when you want to be.
It’s a big deal to say yes to opportunities instead of making up excuses.
Goal setting is important, but so is taking advantage of what’s currently available.
Realizing that there’s nothing legitimately holding you back can result in a mindset shift.
Entrepreneurs have to stop and take stock sometimes.
Be present with whoever you’re with at the time.
People are an entrepreneur’s secret sauce.
Sometimes, the people who got you to where you are now aren’t the people who will take you where you want to be next.
Asking your team what’s important to them is the first way you can give value back to them.
If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.

In 1804, an entrepreneur was defined as someone who takes resources from a lower level of productivity to a higher level of productivity.
Being an entrepreneur requires high risk tolerance because you could lose everything.

A great entrepreneur with a mediocre business will reinvent it into a great business, while a great business with a mediocre entrepreneur will fail.

The only person who can tell you if your idea is good is someone who’d write a check for it.
The instinct for entrepreneurship often shows up very early.
