We’ve been looking back and talking about our founder story a lot more than usual lately.  And it’s been a great reminder of where we started, what we’ve built, and where we could still go. Thank you to Liz Elting for including Carly Zakin and me in the latest “In Dialogue” with Forbes As Liz put it, “No matter how much you account for potential pitfalls or make efforts to set yourself up for success, there’s simply no safe way to start a business. When you choose to go all in and bet on yourself, whether it’s a stable paycheck and job security or the money and time you’re investing, something is always on the line. There’s a defining moment in every founder’s journey when they have to decide to cross that threshold, to pass the point of no return, to drop the safety net below them and leap.”

Everyone feeling it deeply should take the leap, there's nothing more sad than not giving a chance to your inner self. Glad you both did it!
