In this brief interview segment, Michael Wagman shares his favorite piece of advice, a quote he cannot fully recall the source of: "If you stop tolerating bullshit, it leaves your life almost immediately."

What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? Oh, I can't remember where I heard this, but it's one of my favorite quotes.
