Episode notes

I often say that i am not the coloured version of the thing that went before me. And so if i inherited a system that much was of the personality and the culture of those who went before, that all of a sudden that becomes the art that's on my wall. So organizationally, you know, i came in and and an asked those who wished to put my art up on the wall, through the lens of service, will you stay? And those who may not respond to my art, which is absolutely valid, that maybe make room for those who might.
