Stuart shared: “There’s already a common ground that builds that first layer of trust because we are all following that same mission. I think that we also try to build a community and partners through the values that we have and digging in and figuring out who individuals are by knowing their core values and talking through what happens in current and future situations and, diving into who that person is before you do business with them.”
