Episode Takeaway from Steve: Make sure you know what it's like to be on the other side of you. Be brave enough to ask the people who matter most, "How do I undermine my influence with you".
Episode Takeaway from Jeremie: Chandra went on a journey to be healthy not only for herself, but for others. If you're healthy, you can give out of the outflow. It's a journey that works.
