Quotes:

“The way that I define vetting is a process of discovery. It’s figuring out who you are [and] learning who someone else is, but then also, how do you work together.” — Taylor Burrowes [0:08:25]

“Vetting can seem really hard to a lot of people because it's so intentional, and it's a lot slower paced. It’s not quantity, it’s quality.” — Taylor Burrowes [0:24:57]

“I see alignment as part of [the] whole package, where you've hit that sweet spot on all the essential things. You don't have to be perfect in order to be in an aligned relationship. You just need to have sufficient levels of all the essential things.” — Taylor Burrowes [0:32:58]
