Quotes We Keep In Mind
“When I ran for City Council, what a strange experience to have to literally show up at someone’s door introduce yourself, and say you should be confident that I’m going to do a good job at this thing I’ve never actually done before.”
“Something I learned early on, was never feed the Trolls… it gives them the life that I don’t think they deserve.”
“Everyone should be a waiter or waitress or you know, a server in some capacity during their life. Talk about life experiences that will serve you well.”
I was impressed with Emily’s transparency. I am looking forward to next podcast.
