All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because all that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.”

    It’s simple. If we value health, we shouldn’t have our money plugged into businesses and systems that promote disease. If we value spirituality, we shouldn’t have our money plugged into businesses and systems that promote a perversion of the spirit.”
