Tweetable Quotes
“I think one of the key aspects of the entrepreneurial nature of farming is the inconsistency of income and the need to balance through the ups and downs of managing finances.” (02:45) (Sarah)
“When I think about the ways in which I am wealthy, I am certainly wealthy in community.” (05:56) (Sarah)
“One of the reasons that I find climate to be so compelling is that it is the true ‘systems change’ issue. I think there have been really large, very important issues that don’t have the same levels of cross cutting across everything that crosses our lives the way that climate does, nor does it have the same level of urgency.” (18:01) (Sarah)
“I think a lot about how I define success. I think that’s been a personal journey. I really have been fortunate and have worked really hard at defining that for myself. And it’s allowed me to have a very rich life and career. And it has meant not having the same levels of traditional success financially. That hasn’t bothered me.” (23:30) (Sarah)
“I think reflecting on our stories about money is really profound and can change not just ourselves, but the world that we live in. And, if there was one story within the story of money that I think is a dominant story that I would love to see shifted it’s the ‘Zero Sum Story’ to one of abundance and sustainability. I think that’s entirely possible. That is what I believe is the hope of this moment as we face climate crisis is that there’s the ability to shift that whole mindset.” (31:14) (Sarah)
