Key Quotes
“That was probably 15 years of my life where I have pushed and pushed to get this business off the ground and it never really took off.”
“I met a lovely guy who said he would help me and did help me—until we got halfway through and we ran out of money, like he waited until I had probably $50 in the bank before he said, ‘No, I don’t want to do it anymore."
