Quotes

• “First and foremost, think about the big thing, the big impact you want to make in the world. A lot of people will share their mission, but not necessarily their vision. And a lot of people and businesses can have the same vision or significance but their mission and the way they go about trying to make that thing happen, that's how they're all different.” 3:07
• “Values should be your guiding principles on how you fire, how you hire, how you show up in the world, how you show up in your community, how you conduct yourself as an individual, and how your business is expected to operate. This is really, really important. And setting these to be clear and making sure your entire team knows them, leverages them, and honors them is very important in setting everybody up for success.” 5:30
• “Personal growth comes from being uncomfortable. Assume positive intent. It's really hard to do this work if you think people are working against you. Leave your ego and negativity at the door. It's really hard to do this work if you're leading with an ego.” 8:46
