Key quote
"Why it's okay to change your mind if you get new information" : "I always tell them that it's okay to change your mind if you get new information. You don't have to be stuck on a way to do things and come hell or high water, I'm doing it that way. I found that I've always lived that way, that I'm very open to changing my mind if I get new and better information. And so that's why when I'm making larger decisions, I'll consult a whole bunch of people and try to get a whole bunch of different views on it. And then that helps me to make the best decision I can with a bunch of different perspectives." — Iggy Domagalski 00:14:28-00:14:56
