A Few Quotes From This Episode

"I don't want my growth to be determined by the whims of circumstance. I want to have some voice, some proactivity in that."
"Developmental maturity, vertical development, is about challenging the lens that we see the world through. This conversation may make the lens we have tomorrow slightly different. And if it has, that's vertical growth."
"Learn to embrace your complaint — because it is the thing that we can't help but feel. And wherever our lens is, our pain meets us where we are. Then it opens the door."
