    “The philosophies behind improvisation are so wonderful. If you ever meet someone who studied as an improv, they're the most interesting, empathetic, thoughtful collaborative, good listeners, kinds of people because the philosophies and training that improvisers do, have a great application to the business world, and I think even a tighter application to ethics and compliance.”
