"I'm in it for the long haul and it's just a non-negotiable. So we rely on the community for their support, and so we're going to make sure that we're there to support them back. And it just feels so good."

I’ve often been intrigued, and admired the concept of business for good. We often...

What a great conversation we had with Rachel! I connected so much with her and the journey that got her where she is today. There were so many great things that Rachel said- but this really stuck out to me. I remember when she said this and I immediately got chills because I have felt this!...
