If you cannot turn an idea into innovation, if you can’t put thought into practice, it’s not a game changer. By definition game changers happen, they exist, they have life.

Social and societal stigmas are definitely in play when it comes to love and leadership. The natural inclination of most is to react compassionately when and/or where needed – that is until they stop to think about the ramifications of doing so.
