Less Guessing, More Listening – What I’d Change
If I had to build With Ember from scratch today, I know one thing for sure, I wouldn’t start in the same way I once thought was “right.”

You Don’t Have to Fit the Mold to Start a Startup
It’s easy to romanticize the startup world. We often hear stories about people like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs and think that you either have “it” or you don’t. For a long time, I think I believed that myself that being a founder required a certain type of personality or skillset that I simply didn’t have.

Why Workplace Culture Really Matters – From My Experience

Welcome: A Work in Progress
This blog is part of the course Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Context, and I’ll be using it throughout the semester as a place to think out loud.
