Being an entrepreneur can be learned, and that is exactly what I have done. You don't have to be born with it or have had the 'lemonade stand.' But, you do need to have the passion, devotion, conviction, and sheer will and drive to make it happen.

What we've found was that people were utilizing Eventbrite to turn their passions into revenue-generating ventures.

Millennials are the experiences generation.

People are multi-dimensional and crave a multi-sensory experience.

Live experiences are more than fundamental - they're transformative.

Acquiring customers at the start is one of the hardest things you'll ever experiences as an entrepreneur.

I think there's real value in having a founder CEO. Obviously, I'm biased, but I'm driven by a purpose and a mission and a vision, not just profits.

I know my daughter was dealt a very, very good birth card, but sometimes I feel like I want to honor the fact that she also drew a lottery that she didn't get to choose, which is that there is this thing called Eventbrite in our lives, and it sometimes takes precedence.

I've been told many times that I should give up trying to find balance in my life, but I refuse.

If you can't see an example of what you could be, you really aren't going to have that extra incentive to break through any types of barriers.

Leading Eventbrite has taught me a lot about how to connect with people to drive results.

I think there's a fine line, and once you cross it, you are in a dangerous territory of overhyping your company, your service, and your product and sort of under-delivering. But I think we probably could have been a little more overtly confident in the early days.
