"Food brings people together. It’s a bonding element of our human culture. And I found that if you make it really good, people want to be around you all the time."
"I am going to create something. A consciousness around health and wellness, and particularly mental health and depression, that is so empowering to women that going the conventional route is just not going to make any sense."
"I think what both General Assembly and Common do really well is bridge the gap between online communication and technology, and offline experiences and delivery. I really believe that if you can hybridize online and offline in the right way. There’s really something magical to that."
"When I look back of how I grew up, I had a certain grounded and humbleness that helped me very much when I came to New York. And the modeling industry is obviously very competitive. But I very much embraced the empowerment of travel and making that kind of money."
"My husband and I work really hard to stay focused on our savings goals. We even have monthly money meetings. The problem is, our financial decisions have somehow fallen on me. Do you have advice on how I can get my husband more involved and even take the lead?"
"I believe great leaders, real leaders are uniters and people that can pull things together and cause positive change to occur. Leadership is not a position. Leadership is your ability to influence and make things better wherever you are in your life."
"You have nothing to lose asking for a raise. People don’t get fired for negotiating. In fact, companies respect you because you’re standing up for your value and it’s a show of courage and confidence on your part that you’re bringing this to the company's attention."
"I looked to see if there were any resources, blogs, forums or anything with people answering questions or talking about what their experiences were like as a driver. I wanted to educate myself and maybe learn from the pros. I couldn't find anything producing consistent content."
"We want to be givers and we want to help people out but sometimes we do it to a fault and so the one that my husband and I live by is that, “Other people’s lack of planning is not our emergency."
