• Robyn Schindel on Twitter: Everything I see from Jesse is so incredibly grounded, I’d love to know how to maintain that. Like he’s thought through what’s right and what’s practical and somehow makes it all come together in something that seems so common sense once he says it- but isn’t common at all. This is what I want all leaders to act like. How do we develop that in ourselves?
