We cover topics like company and community culture, including a few actionable steps for how we can be a catalyst for change. We also discuss the practice of writing, how prevelant fear is in the creative process, starting a movement, and so much more. But to me, three lessons really stood out.

What You’ll Learn

  1. The importance of being a lifelong learner.
  2. How vital a positive culture is in your company and community.
  3. The most important choice we make every day, and how it shapes our actions.

JON_GORDONGreat Quotes

If you’re fearful of failure, you’ll never be the success you long to be.

Each day, we make a choice between faith and fear. Both believe in a future that hasn’t happened yet. So choose faith!

When your work is about others, and not you, it becomes a movement!
