“If you look beyond being a brand, you’ll find legacy. When I state legacy, I mean a calling to do something that extends beyond your solipsistic life. I mean a fiery mandate you believe you should answer to serve as a bridge to what is possible for humanity and culture.”
― Joy Donnell, Beyond Brand: Master Your Power, Joy, and Media To Live Your Legacy

“Your ego is either your tool or your master.
The ego is a signal. Grandiosity is a form of shame. Doubt is a form of fear. Getting fed up is a form of self actualization. Ego plays into all these moments in different ways. It can be a tool for self realization if you understand why it’s acting up and acting out. It’s part of the collaborative thought within.”
― Joy Donnell, Beyond Brand: Master Your Power, Joy, and Media To Live Your Legacy
