â€œI tell everybody on the team, I expect you to fail at times. In fact, if youâ€™re not failing once in a while, youâ€™re not pushing yourself far enough.â€

â€œFinding the courage to speak up and challenge publicly in an environment of executives far above me - people who I wanted to be like - without having that title was really challenging for me. The moment I did was the moment my career trajectory completely changed.â€

â€œThe future pulls us out of the past, and pulls toward the dream, and whatâ€™s possible.â€

â€œI found that whatâ€™s most important in life is connection and how we connect with life, because, after all, life isnâ€™t about us; weâ€™re about life.â€
