I believe entrepreneurs owe themselves the chance to pursue their curiosity.  Curiosity is the thing that leads to passion, so I'm hell-bent on chasing my interests to determine if they'll morph into my wildest passions.

I firmly believe every experience helps me as an entrepreneur, even jobs I worried didn't align with my vision for the future.  

For example:

• Being a waitress taught me how to hustle and smile when dealing with rude customers.
• Working in retail taught me how to dress for the job you want, not the job you have (and properly fold a T-shirt).
• Volunteering for a janitorial union in L.A. taught me to treat everyone with utmost respect, even if they're cleaning toilets.
• Law school taught me to not think in just black and white, but create shades of gray.

My business is built on personal connection.  My entire focus is on making sure people feel seen, heard, and known…every job and experience I had prior to starting my own business refined my approach.

For years I was desperate to get out of cubicle life–to stop wishing for someone's life and start living my own–but I learned how to become a better entrepreneur in a cubicle before venturing solo.  If you're sitting at a desk you can't stand, I know how you feel.  But I trust the future is teaching you something you couldn't learn otherwise.  And until you're on your own, I hope you smile and know greatness is on the horizon.
