So grateful for Michael Wear's voice for this time in our country.

The future belongs to the relentless optimists. Like my friend Jason Ballard, who shares his story on How I Built This. It’s an honor for New Story 🏡 to be part of the vision… starting from the very beginning when Jason, Evan, and Alex were sharing renderings of what

"We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy" is a surprisingly profound quote. When I ask people who've pulled off remarkable things, it's interesting how many confirm that they wouldn't have started if they'd know how long and
