HIGHLIGHTS

QUOTES

Bessi - You cannot solve it alone:

“What happens when we take a bigger view of the world or of the systems we're operating in, is we very quickly realize that one person or one organization isn't the answer and can't solve everything.”

Jonathan - Fill yourself up spiritually:

“There's something that's very passionate about this work, and that it doesn't necessarily fill you up materially, although it can, it certainly fills you up in a spiritual way.”

Bessi - Have clarity as to where you are moving towards:

“We're either growing or we're dying, and that doesn't have to mean acquiring more things or getting more money, but it is about that sense of being clear on what are you moving towards.”
