Quote: "And it is about people first and foremost. So, to go there, you need to look at the fact that you are a human being with a nervous system. You are creating the way you view your future and how you understand yourself and how you act with people. Are you willing to go inside yourself and go through a range of processes to unpack who are you below the surface?" - Martin
