Highlights from the conversation:

• In the comic book world, there are thousands of characters but only a handful rise above. My theory is they've done a better job of telling their story. We can identify with them.
• Great characters have a strong story. Their strengths and their weaknesses are almost mirror opposites of each other.
• Perfect is boring. Perfect is inauthentic. Perfect is unrelatable
• People do not fall in love with corporations. They fall in love with personality
• Our purpose in life is to find our true voice and be comfortable with that
• When you have your story, you have to think about – I stand for these things and I stand against these things
