Final words of wisdom

“I used my story as a way to exemplify that in entrepreneurship, it's very much a trial and error process.” Nathan Minns

“There's nobody else that I can blame other than myself. So what that means is you end up figuring out ways to become the kind of worker that you want to be.” Blake Chapman

“Just have an idea and do it. One day, it succeeds, but more often than not, these ideas aren't working. And that's fine.” Nathan Minns

“I find that introducing others in the workshop, making it clear that they are not going to be put on the spot, and giving them a slow ramp into participating is helpful in getting everyone involved in the room.” Nathan Minns

“When you mess up, all of the people that report to you are going to see that you are valuable just like any other person.” Nathan Minns

“When we walk in a room, no matter where we're going, we can make the choice of how we'll show up in that room.”
