A Quote from Alycia

“The fact that all of these things have come together in this moment for us, for our community is quite beautiful. And right now, in this moment, as we're celebrating a hundred episodes, it's not just a celebration, it's a call to action. It's a call to action for all of us to show up together, to show up bolder, to support each other, to band together tighter, and to try to transform this movement more than we ever have before.” ~ Alycia Anderson

A Quote from Marty

“A huge reason we started all of this stuff was out of love for each other, love for our community, and our want to help people get as far as they can in life by sharing our experiences with the world.” ~ Marty Anderson
