Tweetable Quotes:
“In the past two years, we’ve noticed working from home, the incredible frustration around it because your intent gets completely muffled.” – Landi Jac
“When you get up in the morning, and you want to feel a certain way, or you want to achieve something, are you going to put energy and effort and activity and using your word consistency into that white wolf and make the positive [side] grow and the impact grow, or are you going to feed that black wolf?” – Landi Jac
“You need to trust and back yourself 100%, not what any government media or something like that is telling you is going on in the world because you actually know what’s going on in your world, and that’s more important.” – Mike Handcock
