"We have to get really creative in how to generate revenue because we're not selling a product...we give everything away."

"Because of where we are with technology today, I don't have to sit in an office to do a lot of my work. I can do it... I can kind of do it anywhere."

"You cannot give up. You cannot have, you know, thin skin...there's always a yes somewhere and you can't take the nos personal."

"I think that 90% of the people that we work with become better individuals and their lives become better."

"Get comfortable being uncomfortable because you just never know."

"I really do enjoy, like the chaos and the creativity. There's, there's a lot of ways to solve a problem."

"Failure is not an option because there's too many things that can show up to make you think it's not gonna work."

"What I wish I knew before is it's never ending."

"What it takes to fundraise, ask for money, um, that those are relevant for any kind of business operation."

"Get comfortable being uncomfortable has remained true to this day... if I'm uncomfortable, I'm probably in the right spot."

"Learn how to operate in a team, know the value of a culture, how to contribute to that...if you're not the leader, can you still strengthen the team?"

"Now while I'm running a nonprofit, I really look for qualities in people that demonstrate those things."

"The choices that I made created the space that I existed in."
