Like I've been wanting to make all these changes, but I was afraid of maybe I wouldn't be making money. Well, shit, I wasn't making money anyway, because of the pandemic. So now's the time to throw caution to the wind and take a fucking chance on something. And everything's already chaotic and up in the air, let's just go for it and start making these changes.
-Teri Hofford
We go deep talking about how we both love to just get shit done right away when we have big ideas, and discuss our CliftonStrengths (you can take a quiz here, if you don't already know yours!)
"The best thing you can do as an entrepreneur or a business owner or somebody that just maybe feels like they're different from people that love a nine to five job, the more you can become self-aware and understand that the things about you are not problems - they just weren't meant for a standardized world, the better off you're going to be, to build systems that actually help you flourish instead of trying to fit yourself into what you think it should be." - Teri Hofford
