    Standout Quotes:

    • “I think it’s interesting… when small talk exhausts you, but big talk is invigorating.” -Jessie Browning [14:23]
  • “I like to throw karaoke parties with my friends, and that’s probably one of my greatest joys. I want to delve into that some day and figure out why that is. I think it’s because I like to see people get vulnerable. ” -Natalie Munoz [19:21]
  • “We do not bring people down. We don’t point out flaws. We’re all about lifting and boosting women, like putting the crown on women, so when we say that we build words and build backstories about people, it’s not in a cutting people down sort of way. Like that’s not our style.” -Natalie Munoz [28:25]
