"… 'Move fast and break things' mantra reputed to be used by engineers at Facebook.

I have learned a ton from Ed and I believe he's a great example of how to live a courageous life.
That's why I invited him to co-create a post about resilience.
If you're looking to build a stronger resilience practice, then Ed's practical advice is for you:
