Tweetable Quotes:

“Entrepreneurship is a radical act in today’s day and age. It’s a very special thing to get involved with.” - Haley Zapolski

“You can read a million books about how to start a company and it’ll never answer your questions, it’ll never make you feel better. Sometimes, it’s just having a conversation with someone who’s been there, done that, or is going through the same thing.” - Haley Zapolski

“Entrepreneurship is definitely non-traditional thinking, it’s not what they teach you in school. They don’t teach you how to start a company, they teach you to probably work for someone else.” - Haley Zapolski
