Legendary Quotes: “ What I have found no matter what you do, is that you have to have a duality with your why, but also your weird, that's the key because your weird is that unique thing that only you own, and the magic is when you put the two together, I call it your genius.” – Frankie Russo “ The industrial revolution is what created a lot of WHYs and what killed a lot of weird. But the people that go inside the Matrix, and know their WHY and they're weird and they live that out, are the people that change everything.” – Frankie Russo “ I tell people all the time, we think that growth comes from success, but the truth is it comes from failure.” – Frankie Russo Join Legend Letters: The free newsletter helping thousands of business owners influence human behavior (and look like a legend) using brand psychology.
