Show Quote:
"[regarding her first business] I don't want to say, a failure [...] it was three or four years of the best learning of my life. "
"Everyone has been incredibly welcoming and there are so many exciting things happening in the ecosystem, it's incredible from a newcomer's perspective."
"I was really blown away by how much is out there for people if they want to pivot their career."
