Playing Small Moment

An investor told Lane that he didn’t want to hear her strategy on how to bring in money and how to be ethical n his company. She stared at him and sat down. She realized that she had become a statistic. Lane was shocked, as had heard about this but never actually experienced it. She lost her confidence in that moment.
