    Learning from Failure:
    Jillian: "Shifting your mindset on things like failure allows you to utilize it as a means to an end. Instead of, 'I didn't get what I want,' how do you utilize it to get what you want?"

    The Importance of a Strong "Why":
    Jillian: "What are the things that I want? What's my why? Without that, why, it's not that easy to feel motivated to be uncomfortable and to do the work."

    Exploring Plant Medicine:
    Ashley: "Speaking of change, I watched one of your episodes where you talked about doing acid. I haven't done acid since I was like a teenager."
    Jillian: "I'm a huge believer. Yeah. Huge believer. I got what I needed. I'm a lunatic because he was alone and took seven grams of my, I was like Greg, but he got what he needed and it worked for him."

    Changing Lives and Readiness for Change:
    Jillian: "People do change, some quicker than others, and there's no judgment on the path. That said, you can lead the horse to water. You're not going to make them drink."
    The Impact of Travel on Life Perspective:
    Ashley: "I didn't travel a lot as a child. I do travel a lot as an adult simply because I think the world is a beautiful place and I want to experience as much of it as I possibly can."

    Teaching Discipline to Kids:
    Jillian: "Even if you are making YouTube videos about fishing or sports, you're still gonna have to get along with other people, learn how to edit, and promote your business. There are elements of this that aren't just about fishing and sports."

    Notable Quotes:
    Ashley: "Just because you love something doesn't mean you're going to be successful at it. You have to have the discipline to do the parts of it you don't like."
    Jillian: "To really stop and think about how the discipline and the persistence and the vulnerability will benefit you, that's the 'why' that allows you to tolerate the 'how.'"
    Jillian: "95 percent of the people who take off weight put it back on, same with drinking, same with smoking, same with rehab from certain drugs. It's not easy."
    Jillian: "You can lead the horse to water, but you're not going to make them drink. They have to be willing to drink."
    Ashley: "Traveling can teach you how to be a student of life."
