I really enjoyed this article. We work in multi-billion dollar industry, and while that’s a big number, the industry at it’s heart is small. The more I learn about it, I realize behind all the businesses, educators and mentors there are individuals who are as imperfect (human) as they are inspiring.

It’s tempting to only show your success, but the best people, in my eyes, show that they are human. Being authentic, truly seen, is an act of bravery… (especially in this age of filters and endless promises of perfection!) That bravery lights the way for others.

I love that you are kind, humble and authentic. You are my hero because, by being you, you show me that I can be me.
And there’s a space for both of us… and all of us… to shine in this industry.
