"Even when it’s not pretty or perfect. Even when it’s more real than you want it to be. Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own." -Michelle Obama Becoming In the first edition of Notion Impact, I focused on how our core identity, or collective identities, influences our journey as we climb closer to our full potential, whether founder, emerging investor, or some hybrid of our own design. There is no prototype you need to follow, despite what trend you might find popular this week or next. Different is good. Hybrid is in. Authenticity rules the day.
