In the Company of Friends, the Key to Business Success

I attribute a great deal of my business success to the fact that I started my company in Dallas. In Dallas I have always been in the company of friends, where the lines between business and friendship are blurred. I’ve lived in places where you don’t talk business with your friends; it’s taboo.

Building a Brave Community

The one unifying characteristic of everyone who commits to showing up as their best, most authentic, and powerful self, is their bravery.
What Is Your Definition of “Brave”?
