A1.2: I did not plan to have a marketing career. I graduated with degrees in Business Economics and Dramatic Art from
@ucsantabarbara. I thought I was going to be a TV and film producer, but all the master’s programs I applied to rejected me.#VCBuzz1 antwoord 1 retweet 2 vind-ik-leuks -
A1.3: When I tried to break into Hollywood as an intern, I ran out of money and ended up in a sales position selling mortgages and learned what it was like to make real money for the first time. Of course, the more I earned, the more I spent.

A1.4: When 2008 hit, I lost everything. I had my house foreclosed and sold it on a short sale at the last minute for ⅓ of what I paid for it. I applied for bankruptcy, but my application was returned to me because I was short on postage.

A1.5: I knew I had to dig myself out of the hole I was in. I took a series of jobs that I was not proud of but needed to make a living. Looking back, the hustle to find any job that would keep me alive fed my entrepreneurial spirit. I had to get scrappy and creative.

I miss my time of "being hungry", I had new ideas every day!

Yeah, it's hard to be hungry when you have food on the table. So many years, when things were tight, the hustle was not an option. Motivation by necessity!
