QUOTABLES:

“When you're in corporate, you're going, going, going, and you're nonstop, and everything is getting from point A to B as fast as you possibly can. You're not really checking in with you as a person.”

“A lot of the traumas that are put upon us or that we experience are put upon us because of the rigidity of the structure of what is corporate America. And so you go into entrepreneurship, and you think that you have to do the same things. And you actually don't.”
