What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? 

Persistence pays off. The start-up world is a roller-coaster ride, but you have to believe in what you’re doing, and it has to be something you enjoy. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it, so you have to enjoy it enough to muscle through the tough times. Keep going. It’ll pay off.
