Ariana Chernin “If you understand your purpose, passion’s gonna kind of ebb and flow with tough days, if you can kind of know this is the purpose, it’s ok to loose some passion here and there, especially in the beginning that’s going to drive you to stay positive and motivated- Ariana Chernin “Now that we are a much larger company and a much more crowded industry, for us it’s about understanding our landscape.” Jill Lorenz “It’s really about us understanding what our road map looks like and being able to anticipate any roadblocks that come up, and putting in an infrastructure that enables us to pivot and change as needed to stay market leaders in the industry.” Jill Lorenz “There is no failure. A failure is really a win, so we call them fins.” Jill Lorenz "We can’t be stuck in a way to get from A to Z, it’s about being able to pivot and finding the best, fastest, most quality way to get there."Jill Lorenz “It’s always different and that’s what really keeps us excited, motivated and growing. So that is one of the pros of being an entrepreneur.. But sometimes it can be frustrating as well.”-Ariana Chernin “Stay hungry, especially in our industry and as entrepreneurs it’s about evolving.” -Jill Lorenz
