Quotes:
- “We believe we can change the world and that’s why we’re here.” – Charles Antis
- “But, it also has to start from this real place of vulnerability. Of saying, ‘I can help,’ even though I don’t know what I’m doing. And showing up in the moment and offering something that feels like sometimes it’s too much…” – Charles Antis
- “We’re going to adapt and thrive. And so, our investment is in trying new things. This is a new way to practice philanthropy.” – Charles Antis
- “I believe that if you’re able to love what you do and show up with intent and share more than you think is possible to share, I believe that the wins that come out of that in the long game will flood out any short-term losses.” – Charles Antis
- “When the customer is genuinely aligned with your story and your story rings with authenticity, it will matter more than anything, including price.” – Charles Antis
- “By being as real and as vulnerable as you can in the moment, you’re exposing yourself. But by exposing yourself, you’re insulating yourself.”
- “We’re going to blow this up and we’re going to change the world.” – Charles Antis
