TP Roll… Under or Over?
Depends on my whimsy.

Fly, Drive, Bike or Walk?
Walk, then I don’t have to go to the gym and can lighten my carbon footprint.

Bedtime?
Around 1 or 2am. Hey, I’m in college.

Living Extreme
I danced 26 hours straight for a marathon for pediatric aids.

Biggest Entrepreneurial Mistake
My biggest entrepreneurial mistake was never saying no. There was a point when I was getting overrun with orders for a specific bag and had to make over 50 of them in the span of a couple of weeks. Even when I was booked, I refused to decline additional orders because I determined it was good for business.

Life of Passion
Definitely. I get to create something new almost everyday and being able to build a successful business doing this is really fulfilling.

The Lesson
Love what you do. If you don’t care or appreciate what you are doing, no one else will. But if you are passionate about what you do, it will show in your business and generate constant drive and creativity.
