Then you're able to pitch that to editors, but you're also able to talk to other brands and founders.” – Rachel Krupa
“Whoever is in the leadership role, speak last because you need to make sure that you hear everyone. Your opinion should come at the end after you listen to everyone so that they're not swayed by what you think first.” – Rachel Krupa
