QUOTES

04:47 "If you're good with people in a world filled with people, you're going to be all right. And I just always kind of known that." 

06:52 "We lived in a household, kids who went to extreme levels of trauma or have some type of developmental disability. And so, when you are growing in those environments and you start to realize that some people are in circumstances where they might require more love than you."

10:07 "Most of the issue that people actually have is not even in extreme abuse that most of them went through, physical, mental, and all those other type of things. The things that scars people deep, in my experience, is the abandonment."

25:29 "The way you fight unconscious bias is through conscious intention. It is saying when you hurt somebody with your words, you didn't intend to, but you didn't intend not to. And so you left a space for the unintended to happen."

26:26 "Hurt people hurt people, and people who don't have enough, take. So if you want a good community, heal the hurt and make sure people have enough. That's the basic tenets of keeping people out of your garage."
