An important lesson: Things that look like an overnight success usually aren't.

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

I never go out during the day without sunglasses.

We need to get women to the point where they aren't apologizing. Its time to take ownership in our success.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t just a job title, and it isn’t just about starting a company. It’s a state of mind. It’s about seeing connections others can’t, seizing opportunities others won’t, and forging new directions that others haven’t.

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.

There’s always a stigma attached to the word ‘ambition’ and women. I’ve embraced it. Ambition is NOT a four-letter word and women have to embrace that.
