Key Moments
"So I also like to really highlight even to people who don't necessarily think they have this innovative entrepreneur or problem solving ability. Every human being had to do this the first day that you were on lockdown, you know, mothers, fathers, children had to figure out what they were going to do with their limited resources in their new world."

"To make a substantial change, you have to go into what's known as cocooning. You actually have to go through almost a mourning period for what you did accomplish running that company. What did you leave behind? And by necessity, you have to spend some time alone, particularly coming out of that experience of people, people, people coming at you. With that in mind, it is really important to get into nature."

"There's a certain amount of courage that is needed to move forward to be useful with people."
