-Mike Cross

I love that, that idea of tiny experiments. I think that that is absolutely critical because we’re all so busy.

-Mike Cross

Anytime you can put yourself in someone else’s shoes, it makes you a better person, right? Whether that’s a better teacher, a better spouse, a better friend, a better citizen, anything.
