Tune in to hear how their personal stories WHY this was paramount to them personally and professionally.

TPOVS:

- Purpose is when you influence the lives of those who will transform the lives of others. Values based culture is the conduit of that.
- Values come from lessons learned growing up hard.
- Watch people long enough and their behaviors tell it all.
- The problem with common sense is it’s not common practice.
- Build trust first – then you can get results.
- To have a values-based culture, focus on core values that already exist – from everyone.
- Wisdom is scar tissue. If we’re not learning from our mistakes, we’re not learning.
- Ego untampered is arrogance.
- Leaders + Followers creates Movement.
