Inspirational Quotes
“Don’t try and please everyone, shun the non-believers, and just really put your energy and attention into the people who you actually have that connection with.”
“When you niche down and you say, ‘this is the exact person I work with, this is the exact service I offer or product I offer,’ whatever it is, that really empowers other people around you, that’s memorable for them.”
“Who do I want to attract, who do I want to serve, and then what kind of content are they gonna be into or where are they underserved?”
“A lot of my passion around business is using our businesses to do more than just deliver a product or service, but actually impact and make a stand for social change and standing up for climate justice and these types of things.”
