Noteworthy quotes from this episode

“A business that fits within you and that you fit within.”
“It's that authenticity that drives connection.”
“You don't need to share all your dirty laundry. You just need one sock.”
“The most powerful things you have in your marketing arsenal are your ordinary personal stories.”
“If your offer isn't built on what you believe in most, what you want to stand up and shout and talk about for hours, why are you going through all of the work?”
“I’m not the only one doing the thing. There are hundreds of me, but it's my blend of my strengths, my skills, my values, and my boundaries that bring my people to me.”
“The evolution part of it’s truly digging back into your values.”
“Have your Hamilton moment. What is it you will stand for? And most importantly, what are you willing to fail for?”
