• “I think that’s why we’re successful as a team because there’s this thing about who we are in our nature that makes us really effective at this work. And looking at those qualities in our team is why we’re together as a team, ‘cause we each have these things that cross pollinate but there’s this common passion around the work.” - Judy Vorndran [16:49]

So somehow someway, I’m really good at that. I can see the forest through the trees.” - Judy Vorndran [28:41]
