One of the lessons that we need to understand is for some people, they will have an impact through their own ecosystem (own business , venture etc) while others will thrive and have an impact in other people's ecosystem...i.e (employed by someone else). There is no hard and fast rule and no shame in either. Know your path, follow it. That is what I am getting from Mary in this episode.
