“I really believe that your genius is as unique as your fingerprint. At the end of the day, You are the competitive advantage. And when you weave in your gifts and your red thread and everything you've been through in your life, you are creating not just a product or thing, but you're creating the articulation of your own soul. And that's something that other people just wouldn't be able to do.” - Kelly Trach
