“I think that every single person that I talk to is uniquely gifted and wired and it’s super cool. Instead of trying to get them to fit the thing that I want, we can go way further faster if we just lean into that.” – Sunni Gressock This week on the Led First Lead Second podcast, Pastor Joe sits down with Sunni Gressock.
