Usually I’ll tell someone, for example, like their watch. If they have a watch on, I might say, ‘In three minutes, I’d like to be wearing your watch. Do I have your permission?’ Once they say yes, I play a little game with them as I’m interacting with them, and I steal their watch. Apollo Robbins Read Quote
Think about it this way – if you have five senses, and they’re all feeding into one place, kind of like a bottleneck, then now your mind has to make decisions of what is important and what is going to be above the radar and what’s going to be below the radar. Apollo Robbins Read Quote

I wouldn’t be able to do the things I do if I hadn’t been around and seen the stuff my brothers did. Apollo Robbins Read Quote
