Today’s posts share 25 questions i brainstormed to “rapid fire” in an hour at someone i’m getting to know. Each post has five questions. The questions are in the order they were thought of, which is not the order i would intentionally ask them.

Tell me about a time when you stood up against what everyone was saying should be done because you thought there was a better way that no one else could see.
