QUOTES:
“You have to actually have to break your business in order to grow. And that’s an indication that you’re growing – when your business starts to break.” — Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas

“So at this scaling phase, this is really important because you’re shifting your identity to a CEO, which means now you’re thinking about HR, you’re thinking about finance differently.” — Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas
