- Find a peer mentor that is one step ahead of you to help guide you along your way.
- You are in the driver’s seat to decide what company or organization you want to build.

- You are enough.
Quotes
• “Get mentorship from that near-peer mentor that can walk through the terms so you don't get screwed. That's really important, real deal.” (38:22-38:28 | Andrea)
• “Investing in and supporting women entrepreneurs is not philanthropy. It is just damn good business.” (42:46-42:54 | Andrea)
