QUOTES

  • “No one told me the difficulties of entrepreneurship. I think there is a view of entrepreneurs. People see the entrepreneur on top of the mountain and they have accomplished so much success, but there's so much turmoil and ups and downs in their journey. I remember the first few years, it was very difficult.” -Jaclyn Glatzer [20:44]
  • “The pandemic did something good. It lit a fire that kept us from just resting on our laurels. It kept this industry. From staying the same always. So I think there's been so much more innovation this last three years than there was in the three years before that, or even the 10 years before that.” -Jaclyn Glatzer [42:43]
