Episode Quotes:

• You cannot fix the quality, if you cannot understand their process.
• Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.
• In quality, it was either good or bad. You had to figure out what to do with it. I figured I'd go into operations, never do anything bad, save the world, and figure out really quickly if you didn't have good R&D upfront, you were pretty much scorned from the get go.
• Gender Bias is in the Professional Settings.
• The biggest thing is finding like minded women that are already in the industry and using them as inspiration. Network. Get out there.
• Sustainability in Packaging: It covers everything from different ways of recycling to EPR to all of those different things around California plastic waste, greenwashing, and some of the labeling bills that are out there.
