Top 3 Value Bombs

1. If you are feeling called to make a bigger difference and be a vehicle for change, you don’t have to choose between making a lot of money and doing good in the world. You can do both together.

2. When you become equity-centered, you are doing things that may feel like they’re extra, but in reality are actually increasing and improving the experience for all people interacting with your business.

3. Equity is about giving people what they need in order to achieve their goals, thrive and live amazing lives - and do what they want.
