“What sets Believe in Better apart is its raw honesty. Damon doesn’t shy away from the missteps and the hard-earned lessons that shaped the success of his company. This isn’t a story of a company that got it right from the start; its a far more relatable and valuable narrative about a company that dared to believe it could be better and then did the hard work to make that belief a reality. A changemaker at heart!”
