{52:06} Empowering your people and giving them the tools to be successful Remarkable Quotes Evan: You may not care who I am. And that's OK. But I care who you are.

Evan: We want to be in the room where this next tier will accept us and tell us that we're enough.

Travis: There are so many people dedicated to trying to make it better for the veterans.

Travis: When you take something like an apple seed and you plant it; you cultivate it, you water it. You give it sunshine, and eventually, it sprouts. And then over time, many seasons, it grows into a sapling; then a tree and then it flowers, and the very last thing that is produced is the fruit.

Evan: It's about giving them the essential tools they need to do the core role at REBOOT.

Evan: People don't volunteer because they feel like they're writing a blank check with their time. They feel like, once I volunteer a little, I'm on your list and you're going to call me all the time.

Evan: The people who volunteer for us, these are not just people who I'm using, these are people who I believe were specifically designed. I believe they had a special calling on their life.

Evan: We give people the room to grow. Evan Owens Bio Evan Owens co-founded REBOOT Recovery and has led the organization as the Executive Director since its inception.
