"My best work happens when I can step away. Instead of forcing myself to sit at a desk, I step back and give myself time to align. Whether that means going to coffee with a client or going to dip my feet in the ocean.

Another thing - I hire incredible humans to do the things that I hate and that I’m not good at. It frees up so much time in my business."
