I’ve got to meet people from different backgrounds, people who are studying different things, and we’ve had the opportunity to bring our brains together and come up with some amazing ideas. The biggest thing I’ve learned is that entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business, but it’s actually your mindset and who you are as a person.
