Quotes from the Episode:

“Sometimes the problems we have are way too big for us and we need others to be there to support us. There are times in life when we do feel alone and we are wishing other people will come to help us and even when we are asking for that help, none may come.” [00:08:42]

“Sometimes they are trying to blow whistles and no one is hearing them when they need help, those whistles can be all kinds of things, but we don’t always pick up on all those signs.” [00:11:13]

“As a leader, somethings even though what we are doing may not be cool or we might be looked down upon, we still need to do what we know is right.” [00:13:06]
