It was our pleasure to Skype today with Megan Grassell, founder of
Yellowberry. Megan began her own business when she was 17 (she's now 19) and she shared her insights and experiences with us. What an amazing person--if you don't know about Megan or her company, check her out in Fortune Maganize, Fast Company, and the New York Times, to name a few places. You can follow her company's progress on Instagram @yellowberrycompany and on Twitter @yellowberrybras.
What we learned from Megan today:
- be fearless
- be passionate
- keep sight of your mission
- be humble
- ask any question you have (the worst answer you can get is "no")
- build your network with good people
- make the best use of your network
- take advantage of any open door (and push open the closed ones)
- be ready to learn on the job
We can't wait to watch Megan, and Yellowberry, continue to grow! Thanks so much, Megan!
