Key Takeaways
- Life happens for you, not to you.
- You are the average of the five people you surround yourself with; surrounding yourself with a really good tribe is so vital.
- Your dreams weren’t put inside you to torture you, they were put inside you to drive you and to help you back up when you fall on your knees, not if you fall and scrape your knees, but when you do.
- Do the dream, don’t just have a dream; don’t just tell people about your dream, but do your dream and then see what happens.
- Kristi’s driving force for culture was to build a place where families could come first.
