The Space Between

Crystal Phillips is an undo-er in the purest sense. She seeks out "unlike-minded people", revels in "the space between" (the often misunderstood messy middle between process steps), and stands in defiance of the word "NO". Struck down with MS while at the brink of Olympic glory, she found alternate ways of reducing her symptoms, then started Branch Out Neurological Foundation, to help fund research which would bring hope to others. Her story is heroic ad inspiring. The work made possible by Branch Out will change lives.

10 years after founding Branch Out, she was recruited to head up Thin Air Labs Health, a division of Thin Air Labs, which we featured in Episode 1 of Background Noise.

This episode begins with undoing co-founders Marc Boivin and David Gaudet discussing the competency of character, so prominently demonstrated in the Crystal Phillips story, and how it applies in work, school and life. Competencies are the foundation of undoing's manifesto, and form the north star of how Marc and Dave teach, write and consult in the business world.
