Slide 1: "Friendly collaboration and relationship building is where you realize, 'This is who we fuck with, we like what they’re doing and where they’re headed; and we want to support them.'" -Constanza Valenzuela Slide 2: "Deep collaboration doesn’t have a closing date. It’s sustained and it’s nimble. It lies in the cracks of conversations and connections, and entails mutuality in the name of realizing something that you can’t achieve alone." -Jack Radley Slide 3: "We both have full time jobs, and our shared work happens beyond them. When the clock hits six or seven, it’s our second shift that’s just beginning. Because of the time and the care it takes, it has to be fun." -Jack Radley Slide 4: "We’re not making a living off this work, and we won’t be in the near future. We’re in constant communication, but we’re homies and we catch up and we laugh. We have so much genuine interest. It doesn’t feel like we’re working all the time." -Constanza Valenzuela Slide 5: "When our collaborators feel like they’re pushing their practices, and when we introduce good people to good people, we’ve succeeded." -Jack Radley
