You asked for it, we brought it! For week thirteen, we are focusing on values. We talk about how to live a value-driven life, why understanding your values builds empowerment, and how they change over time. Plus, we share some of our core values and discuss what happens when values collide.

Tune in to learn more about our key values and how we embrace them in everyday life.
