Episode Highlights:
05:29 - One of the demographics for us that has been surprising is that we are as an organization, we have a membership that's probably 80% women across all racial lines, across all economics.

08:09 - So the first thing I tell people is write down what you want to do. I don't call it a business plan. Write down what you want to do, and then start interviewing people, having questions.
