Why it was selected for "CBNation Architects": It's awesome to hear why Robin started her business and everything she launched and how she approached hiring. There's also a reminder of creating a way out of no way. It was sad to hear Jake's story but I loved how Robin decided to be the change rather than allow life to happen to Jake and the other differently-abled people. I also love her resilient and maybe even defiant mentality of making sure there will be a success.

Tuesday Apr 25, 2023
Tuesday Apr 25, 2023
Why it was selected for "CBNation Architects": Jodi's podcast reminds me of the idea that great power comes with great responsibility. With the power and impact of data and the information that is somewhat readily accessible, it's so powerful and necessary what Jodi does. One of the things that really stuck out to me which is how privacy and data are a part of the customer experience and not just "checkmarks" to complete. She spoke about trust, privacy, and security and how that is and will continue to become a huge priority.

Sunday Apr 23, 2023
Why it was selected for "CBNation Architects": Orrin has an inspirational story that is a great reminder of "running your own" race and how important that is but on the opposite side of the coin when you aren't running the race that you are supposed to run, it can cause you not to flourish. Gratitude came up during the podcast and how important that is. I love their mission which is "supporting the dreams of the doers."
