FEATURED QUOTES

“So many times, we allow other people to sit at the head of our tables and tell us what to do with our life and how to do things with our life, and we never take that opportunity.”

“You have to have a vision… When you have a vision, it's even easier to invite people to your table.”

“Failure, messiness- it's not a negative. Embrace it. Learn from it, enjoy it, laugh- just make sure that you keep moving forward.”
