• "I'm realizing I don't know anything about God"
• "The kingdom of God is like a weed. It's persistent. You can't win against weeds."
• "We are creating a system where part of creating a soil of innovation is creating a soil where failure is allowed. I plant twice as many seeds as you currently see in the garden."
• "The more we create environments for innovation and creativity, the more people come alive to the fullest versions of themselves."
