I’ve heard it said, “Anything that matters has been built by a team.” Some things that matter to me: community, sustainability, and empowering folks to build their own experiences. Community is why I prioritize showing up for my teams, even for silly social activities when work feels overwhelming. Sustainability is the reason we’re building a company to recover resources from wastewater – one where we simultaneously take a sustainable mindset to our work culture. And empowerment is e.g. why I’ve gotten involved in unionization efforts over the years. Hopefully all these things can also be outcomes of our budding entrepreneurial endeavor.
