with Kamala Harris

Reflection Questions:
In an environment saturated with outrage and disinformation, you have to train yourself to notice when attention is being hijacked by the absurd and deliberately redirect your focus to underlying realities and plans.
Reflection Questions:
Ambitious work requires a small, trusted circle-partners, friends, mentors-who understand the pressures you're under, tell you the truth, and help you stand back up when you fall.
