Quotables

• 04:48 - “If there’s no resonance, if there’s no caring, then we get bad outcomes.”
• 20:53 - “To get people to feel safer you’ve got to get them to care and the way to get them to care, in my opinion, is how we can communicate with them better, and thinking about the ways we can do that, and how we can frame our communications.”
