“I had the passion behind learning about other people's causes and what keeps them going and what they're passionate about.”

“I think the most important thing is how excited I am to get on that podcast because then I know we're talking about a cause-driven brand.”

“It’s really cool to see people coming back and saying you made me want to be more aware and I'm more aware now.”

“The other thing about giving is you don't always have to open your wallet.”

“It doesn't have to be about opening that wallet if you can volunteer or if you can post the mission on your social media to your followers, open up a conversation.”

“There are so many ways to give and I never want the small business owners or anyone to feel like, oh, I can't give this is embarrassing or I want to give and I can't because there's just so many other ways to give.”

“As a business owner, you can take your staff to volunteer for a day somewhere and that can be team-building and a way to give back.” 

“I honestly don't think that trauma can ever leave someone. I just think that there are ways that we can cope and that there are ways that we can just help make it a little better and give them that environment to do better and to be better.”

“I just need to make sure I'm doing it the right way with the right people.”
