Quotes:
"When I think about going after extraordinary goals, one of the things that is required is that you're seen on some level."
"I got over my fear of being seen. I was willing to be judged. I was willing to be ridiculed."
"Remember, and this is really important, visibility isn't about validation."
"What I have known to be true is the more imperfect I am, the more vulnerable I am, the more I share the ins and outs of my life, the more people can connect to that."
"Fear has no control over you in this part of your life. When you're willing to be judged, when you're willing to get it wrong, when you're willing to be imperfect, when you're willing to look stupid, when you're willing to fail, all of a sudden the fear is gone."
