We talked about embracing change, the power of teamwork, and how choosing your North Star can guide you through any challenge.

Here are 3 key takeaways that stood out:
🔹 Master Both Skill & Character: Success in any field means being a technical expert and bringing strong personal values to the table. If you lack in either area—skills or integrity—you’ll be exposed and held back. Aim to excel in both.
🔹 Don’t Fear Change—Embrace It: Whether you’re transitioning industries or adopting new technology, adaptability is crucial. Life is a series of problems to solve and change is inevitable. The willingness to evolve sets true leaders apart.
🔹 Anchor Yourself in Lasting Principles: In a fast-changing world, having a clear North Star—a foundation of values and purpose—is more essential than ever. Whether rooted in faith, mission, or personal conviction, commit to it boldly and let it guide your decisions and your teams.
