Key Takeaways:

Creatives have a greater responsibility to understand the impact they have on the people they influence. Giving yourself a licence to be seen as a Human is a beautiful way to be a leader. Vulnerability doesn’t get easier, but it gets easier to recognize the value and the courage it takes to be vulnerable. A beautiful business is one that has a clear idea of what they’re about and people who are part of it and interact with it feel seen, supported valued. 

"Vulnerability doesn’t necessarily get easier… I want to be vulnerable more because I see the value of what that vulnerability can get me to." —  Justin Ahrens
