Did you go to college? Where? What did you study?
I’m actually still degree-less and proud of my independent success! I did some college, but mostly I learned by diving directly in to the work force. During and after college, I ran two companies for an entrepreneur – everything from accounts payable/receivable to marketing to managing and hiring staff. Paired with being an Avon representative, it gave me a taste of the entrepreneurial life without the risk associated. I worked in marketing and production for five years, also and then officially started my first company in 2008.
What did you study?
I majored in music, psychology, and business.
