I really credit my success to Davidson. Even though my major was history at this liberal arts college, I learned a lot about how to write, how to think, how to solve problems at Davidson. In doing that, I had to have a significant amount of writing and researching, and what I found is it was very relatable to business. Your ability to write and communicate ideas effectively, both in writing and verbally, was critical in business, and so I learned a lot of business skills even though it had nothing to do technically with what I was doing. Davidson was very well-known for academics, and it was much further out of my league. I only got in because I was a soccer player and I got recruited to play soccer there for their Division I soccer program. I'm very grateful that turned out the way it did.

I get very concerned about AI and its impact on business overall. There are people who believe that 90% of small businesses will be out of business in 3 years if they haven't fully bolted AI into their sales platform and into their programming and the way that they run their business. Women are usually typically late adopters to technology, and so women can't afford to have our female leaders fall further behind. We just can't. I get really concerned about how AI is going to specifically impact female owners and founders and leaders. We can't afford to have our female leaders fall further behind, so I particularly like working with women. I offer mentorship programs for them, I have a mastermind, and I usually provide those things at cost because I want female leaders to be able to succeed.
