#LESSONUP:
(8:26 ) I was one of the first to lose my job because I was the one to speak up and ask questions like, why do we spend so much money and we don't make so much money?
(10:37) I had no business background, no business education, but I got this crazy idea and it wouldn't leave me alone. And I think that when you have crazy good ideas, they come back no matter how much you push them away.
(20:20) It's not the child that makes you give up your dreams. It's your relationship to your dream and the way you're trying to execute it. So, if you are too busy to do your passion and you say because of your child, that's putting extra blame and unnecessary blame on your child. That actually has nothing to do with them.
(21:37) We just are very used to this narrative in the culture… but I believe if you're called to have a child and called to have a career, they feed each other, and that there is a way to navigate both.
(29:03) I think women are fantastic leaders, and I think we need definitely more of them. It is shocking how few we have in the highest positions, and how somehow women stop trying to go for the top job.
