Great quotes from Alexander:

You’re the 1% for the world.

Jesus is the most feminine man I’ve ever seen and yet he was the strongest man as well. He knew emotions and he knew how to use them. That’s powerful.

We think about places where God can be and we can have more God. Financial Services is a place we can have more God.
