Standout Quotes:
“That was the farthest thing from my mind ever, that I ever thought I could do, but kind of the rest is history. Started the company at 25 and honestly, planned for it to fail, because 92% of startups do fail. So I actually had an entire business plan of what would happen when I failed, and I had no business plan for success, which is quite ironic.” -Kim [24:27]
“You should be screaming this from the rooftops. And not only that, but most of the time, your friends, your family and those people around you, like they’re ready to applaud you. They’re ready to buy you a cake and put a sparkler in it, but if you don’t tell them that you’re celebrating, how are they supposed to know?” -Kim [28:56]
“Your career is not a kick ball. Stop waiting to be picked.” -Kim [40:03]
