Big businesses can help by engaging aspiring entrepreneurs and promoting initiatives which support small businesses from within.

Having an environment that is supportive is really important for success.

I love exploring New York and I think that's what is so exciting about it. You find places that you've never heard of or seen before all the time.

I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where my parents raised German shepherds - we had about 30 dogs at any given time.

I could eat gazpacho three times a day.

Each job I had wasn't necessarily the perfect job, but I always talk to young women about how you really have to take certain things from each job and learn from that and then move on to something you really want to do.

Remember: if the most unique ideas were obvious to everyone, there wouldn’t be entrepreneurs. The one thing that every entrepreneurial journey has in common is that there are many, many steps on the road to success.
