She spent nearly a decade prosecuting money laundering and crypto cases at the DOJ. Now Amanda Wick came to talk to our team about courage. Not the burning-building kind. The quieter kind. Raising your hand in a meeting when the room is moving one way and your gut is moving another. Saying the thing that needs saying, even when staying silent would be easier. Her argument was that most organisations get the dramatic version of courage right and the everyday version wrong. The willingness to flag a concern, contradict a decision, or admit you don't have the full picture is what separates companies that build something durable from companies that ship something fast and break things they didn't see coming. She drew a sharp line between mission-led and revenue-led businesses. Both can make money. Only one tends to build something worth keeping. And she used an analogy that stayed with the team. A bus heading down a mountain. Too slow and you never make it. Too fast and you go over the cliff. The job of leadership, and of every passenger willing to speak up, is to keep the bus moving and everyone in it alive. One line in particular landed: making $BTC work for everyone is a service built into a mission. Not many companies can say that. @RootstockLabs can. That's the bus we're on.
