I promise you, a lot of it is luck. But you make your own luck by working really hard and trying lots and lots of things.

I really appreciate crafts. I like cooking. I love food and drink. I love owning that through Instagram. Although that can be challenging at times because it doesn't fit people's stereotypes of a technical founder.

In my fourth grade classroom, I even instituted a government structure, because I was really interested in people having positions and there being law.

I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life.

When people say that college isn't worthwhile and paying all this money isn't worthwhile, I really disagree. I think those experiences and those classes that may not necessarily seem applicable in the moment end up coming back to you time and time again.

A lot of the earliest Instagram celebrities took really beautiful photos. But you're starting to see a change where it's not about beauty; it's about the story that you tell.

I think not focusing on money makes you sane, because in the long run it can probably drive you crazy.
