This was my first time painting in only black & white, no color at all."
1c) "When I first heard about this statue being toppled and damaged, something about it tugged at my heart. When I found out that it was a memorial over the graves of five children, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I looked up the statue to see what it looked like…decided to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
