You know, we're about mission.  As our lead into this podcast says, we're about mission and changing communities.” - Scott Niermann “If I can create the fence and let them know where they're allowed to not go, then they know where they can go. And I don't need to micromanage them.” - Jason Cass “What I always try to focus on with new employees is the fact that this database is the brain of the organization when none of us are there anymore.
