<\/p>\nIt\u2019s more important to understand someone than to judge them. We think the first step to understanding someone is asking them the fundamental questions about who they are and how they became the person they are today. Understanding and empathy are essential building blocks for a better, more compassionate world. We\u2019re incredibly fortunate to be able to ask these questions each week through our interview series. Below you\u2019ll find inspiring interviews from in and around Dallas.<\/p>\n

Read more>><\/a><\/p>\n Kristy Triggs If someone had told me a few years ago that I\u2019d one day own a cookie business, I probably wouldn\u2019t have believed them.
