QUOTES
06:26 "When we take responsibility for our personal ethics, what we do is we make it easier for other people to trust us. And that creates a healthy society, healthy community, healthy business."
09:52 "What's the definition of a good person? Someone who's trying to be a better person. And if we would take that to heart, I can't change the world right now but I can change me."
11:29 "A mistake is an opportunity to learn. A mistake is an opportunity to recognize how to do better next time. And that's the key to a successful life and a happy life."
47:51 "There's no app for being ethical. We're dealing with competing levels of values, competing principles, and sometimes it gets really messy and really uncomfortable."
48:10 "It's hard to do the right thing. If it were easy, we would all do it. And part of the reason it's hard is because it's not always easy to know what the right thing to do is."
