The 20 Most Inspiring Quotes from Get RADICAL 2014
31 Mar 2014
There’s something powerful about being surrounded by positive women who are passionate about their purpose. After attending the inspiring 6th Annual Get RADICAL Women’s Conference a week ago, I wanted to share some of the most valuable nuggets of wisdom given to us from Doreen Rainey, Teneshia Jackson Warner, Laila Ali, Lori Greiner, Jean Chatzky and Thomas Blackwell. Enjoy!

Hi Julian!
Great blog you have here.
My favourite action-oriented quote has to be "Learning is not done to you, it's something you choose to do."
