Content is power in today’s world, and if you can own that content, create it and make interaction more of an experience than a transaction, you create a different kind of loyalty. – Mindy Grossman
I’ve learned not to let people judge me in how I want to live my life. Every single woman is an individual, and there’s no one path. You just have to take the path that you think is right for you. – Mindy Grossman
