Finding Your Voice with Dr Trevor Weston

Episode #3

"The reality of what makes innovation is when people say “This is just how I do it and I’m doubling down on expressing myself in the way that I see the world”. And that’s where the risk and where the innovation always come from. […] But that’s the most difficult thing in life – being your true self. "
