Quotes of the show:

“The goods are good; don’t devalue good. It’s good and that’s a positive word.”
“I think for facilitators, it’s being okay to play, be flexible and adaptive and to continue trying to work things out because your audience wants to get it”.
“The more content you shove in; the more shallow you’re going to be. I think that’s that balancing act that makes it very hard for facilitators sometimes.”
