11:28 "There historically have been some negative trends where women are not supporting each other in the workplace. The idea of building a platform where women could support each other systematically, and it scales, seemed magnificent."
17:08 "Running a company, I get to be in everything. And I love that. It's just so interesting to be able to understand all the facets that come together via business and be a successful business."
22:53 "We help women improve their career, so whether that's by providing them advice about how they can be more happy and successful in their current role, or advice how they can be happy and successful in a new job, find a new job, and supporting them through the job seeking process."
25:25 "We can do so much more than we think we can if we just try. And don't let a fear of failure or fear of inability keep you from just trying. Just try. What's the worst that could happen?"
