Here are my takeaways from this episode:

1. Listen to your intuition.
2. Know your customer base, your niche.
3. Don't compete on price because people don't value what they don't pay for.
4. Have big love for each other; build your community.
5. Know why you do what you do & does that match your beliefs and values.
