Tweetable Quotes:

"I truly believe that you can learn a lot through a textbook and from a class and learn all these courses and things, but there is so much knowledge that we can learn from one another and each of those experiences. And that's really what I wanted to embody in my podcast." – Emily Gigliotti

"When you know what that 'why' is, and it takes a lot to figure that out, it literally will push you through the darkest times and it will make you resilient." – Emily Gigliotti

"It is, [your why] is so important. It's what's gonna propel you when you're in the dark. When you're in those deep moments of despair, when you feel like when you want to give up, and that's where these whys really come into play." – C.N. Sloan
