Jody faced several challenges in taking over the organization and building it to scale, especially during the pandemic. What kept the organization strong and intact through the ups and downs? Jody says it all boils down to believing in the work. Workers at CBRC don't work for the sake of the paycheck but because it impacts them and their loved ones personally.
