Highlights
03:03 - I really wanted us to create a space where women didn't look at each other as competition, but as collaborators. And here we were hiring each other, working together, kind of keeping the money flowing between us.
08:49 - But if you are a branding expert, your best friend should be a photographer. Your best friend should be a videographer, a website designer.
10:58 - I think honestly, you have to be genuinely curious. And I really am. I'm really like, tell me more about what made you go into speaking for diversity and inclusion, what made you want to do law or be an accountant? Like, I'm really curious. And you have to be. If not, it kind of comes off a little bit fake.
21:39 - I think it's for when you're struggling. And you can be vulnerable. You have a safe place to be like, I don't know what I'm doing. Or, I've decided to leave this and now I'm going to do this. But it's that feeling of being accepted and vulnerable.
