Elise: Make the decision to fail, and fail fast
“The other advice I would say is, that is super helpful, and it was helpful to me, to my career, is helping my teams at the time, but you can be in the team, make a decision to fail, and fail fast, and being decisive about this.”

Elise: Expect to fail, and give it a shot again
“Not expecting to fail is a little too cocky. Like, ‘ ‘Yeah, I'm going to be alright. I'm going to have it right the first time.’ ’ But it's setting it into the culture that is acceptable, and that is that the recognition of the failure is almost as important as the failure itself, it's the key now, you can beat your head against the wall so many times, and not really realize it hurts you, you should feel it the first time and give it a second shot, but don't give it 10 shots…”

Craig - The power of a good presentation:
“Going back to the concept about anxiety - performance anxiety. That is a real thing for artists, but I feel like it's a real thing for entrepreneurs in general. The difference between securing a seed funding and not, truly is a good presentation.”

Soula - Excellence is not achieved alone:
“When you really want to excel on something, the first thing is you never do it alone. I didn't become the singer that I am on my own. Yes, I was born with the gift. I didn't cultivate the gift on my own, I had to take 1000s of hours of lessons.”
