Discover why rejection is a sign of growth, why self-care starts with self-awareness, and why the world needs you to simply "be the light." Topics covered: leadership and vision-casting, marriage vs. business roles, team capacity, the three principles of execution, self-care and identity, reframing failure, and living beyond your generation.
