Everett Polinski has been the founder and CEO of The Daily Anathema / Irkutsk Ice Truckers since our inception in 2019. But most of you still don’t know much about him, or the rest of our staff here at your favorite source for “Catholic news,” for that matter, so we decided to share an inside look at our supreme leader by sharing some of his top quotes and notable sayings.
These inspirational quotes are sure to be thought-provoking, inspiring (that is, if you read them out loud, you’ll have to breathe, which is a type of inspiration, and then exhale), and maybe might even make you laugh.
Who knows, maybe there’s even a great bit of business advice hidden within them, too.
