I pledge to invest in women because I believe it offers one of the greatest returns on investment. I am committed to the belief that we would all be in a much better place if half the human race (women) were empowered to prosper, invent, be educated, start their own businesses, run for office essentially be given the chance to soar.

I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long, people would rip up my business card in my face. It's a humbling business to be in. But I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I cut the feet out of those pantyhose and I knew I was on to something. This was it.

I feel like money makes you more of who you already are.

Embrace what you don`t know

I didn't like the way it looked in white trousers, and I couldn't find anything to work underneath them.

Don't let what you don't know scare you, because it can become your greatest asset.

The smartest thing I ever did was to hire my weakness.
