That’s what they need to see, day in and day out — the two of you loving each other.” “The CEO should be the dumbest person in the whole room.” “If you take care of your people, they take care of your process and your product, and then you don’t have to worry about it.” “As a retired therapist, our mental health, our emotional health, would be so much better in this world if, as humanity, we leaned into our gifts and accepted that we’re here for a purpose.” “I’ve never met a tree or a hippo or a fish that wakes up in the morning and questions its reality. It just does the thing it was designed to do.” “Our world is designed to be efficient. Actually, its survival rests on trees doing tree things, water doing water things, fish doing fish things. Right? So, if you can agree that our ecosystems are dependent on things fulfilling their purpose, then why wouldn’t we?” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.bunnyyoung.com/ https://www.abetterplaceconsulting.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bunnysumneryoung/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/abetterplaceconsulting/ https://www.instagram.com/thebunnyyoung/ https://www.instagram.com/abetterplaceconsulting https://www.facebook.com/thebunnysyoung https://www.facebook.com/abetterplaceconsulting/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA0R6-q6BKrKXBgSEDaEFdg/videos Pawprints on My Heart: The Story of Goose, the Service Animal (https://a.co/d/9S8Z0pN) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen X - https://x.com/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
