We are conveyors of story and information through truth, stories are truth in entertainment format. Truth is an element of accuracy, it is our responsibility to try and make sure all of the information we put out is accurate, fact check everything. If we make a mistake, we’re the first to bring it up and we own it. If we don’t know the answer to something, we admit it readily (and then work to figure it out!) If we disagree, we say so. Truth is the first and most important step to solving any problem.

Passion: It’s not enough to simply do. You also have to care. You have to care about your viewers, your team mates, and yourself. You have to work like it matters, like what you’re doing means something. You need to know that you’re making an impact and understand that there are people relying on you to do what’s best for them. In some cases, these people wouldn’t know the difference which makes it even more important. We have been offered a sacred trust in helping people learn and be entertained through stories and so we treat their time and trust as our own.
