“You’re gonna know 1,000 people in your life well enough to have an impact on them. And each of those 1,000 people is gonna know 1,000 people.

And when you do something that you should do, it’s better than you think.”

I believe his statistics here are skewed, as many of the thousand people another person knows will overlap with the thousand you know, but the principle he states at the end is still true and powerful.
