When actively engaged consumers understand why and where they spend their dollars, they will influence the world on a larger scale.

We are all prone to stress, excitement, sadness, or anger; it's called being human. Give yourself a break, and give others a break.

The biggest benefit of being humble is that you're comfortable with yourself, and you aren't putting unnecessary pressure on yourself. By being humble, you're accepting yourself and realizing you're flawed, but you're also great.

It's a deeply entrenched process that nobody really wants to change because all the major players, except athletes, have a stake in the monetary gain.
