Takeaways:
If you’re gonna move with the public needs you need to be more of an in-depth expert. All your crises tee you up to become better than you’ve been before because you’re more aware and grown as a person. When you’ve done a bad, reputation-damaging thing you now have to do good things by reinvesting in those good things so that people see you as a good person that makes a mistake. Not just as a bad person. Even if you do things that you regret, don’t let them weigh you down
