Quote of the Episode: "For me, it’s about understanding. I’m taking from the good whilst being cognizant of how you feel when you’re being led by people that you don’t think are so good... there’s times when you work for leaders and they made you feel in a certain way and you go right, actually, I’m not going to do that."
