(14:30) dating with traditional grad 9-5 background, did you encounter this
- Came up with other family and friends, they are always questioning it, always going to be people who don’t understand, their story doesn’t have to be our story, we start our business for a reason, we can’t make their limitations our own, doesn’t mean you should go away, find boundaries of who you can talk to
