Quotes:
“Part of what leaders need to do is cast a vision of something that’s greater than… some better world, some better experience for whatever the mission is that they’re trying to solve.”
“Doing that really well, caring for that cause, doesn’t provide the revenue.”
“I have a growing appreciation for events – if they’re not solely for fundraising.”
