Quotables:

• 5:51 “You come first and you because you’re burnt out or overwhelmed that does more harm to us as a company than losing one customer at one point. So we’re really working hard as a company as, a leadership team, to make sure people get you are first.”
• 11:30 “Listen to your body, your body is telling you when it’s time to take a mental rest, an emotional rest, listen to that, and again when you do you have those mechanisms in place that help you recharge and reenergize yourself you come back ready to go and knock everything out of the park.”
• 22:46 “You have to have these conversations, these meaningful conversations but you can only have those conversations when you’ve created that empathetic environment where you yourself are in touch with your own emotions and have allowed people to be vulnerable.”
