Tribe fit better than team or family. Tribal leaders learn, teach, and keep the tribe alive. A tribe has values, warriors with different skills, community, celebration, and is future-focused—pick the wrong lake and everyone dies. Our tribe means forever learners and teachers, mutual respect, and a just cause of protecting and feeding each other.
