Some Quotes in the episode:

- If you’re a great leader, you don’t want your people to have to go through exactly the path you went through. You should know by now that this is not a path to take.

- True leadership is about lifting others up and creating a space for them to thrive.

- Rest isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. I’d rather rest before my body forces me to.

- Successful companies are successful despite themselves, but if they embraced wellness and kindness, they’d see even greater success.
