#370 - Building with Purpose with Adriana Gonzalez

making a lot of calls and getting a lot of nos, but eventually you get one or two yeses, right? Yes, yes.

Hi Adriana, my name is Michael.

My question is, do you think you would have been able to build what you have today without first having the corporate experience? And what did that experience teach you that helped you as an entrepreneur? Good question.

Oh wow, that's a great question.

And if I'm gonna be honest with you, I think that every experience that you have leads you to where you are now.

I would be lying if I say that I would be able to know everything and jump on to the pure essentials if I didn't have the backing of ABS Imprint.

So absolutely, ABS Imprint gave me the cries.

gave me the lows, gave me the pivots.

I've never ever, I think that entrepreneurship is the hardest thing that anybody could do, but it's the most rewarding thing that anybody could do.

So if you're willing to put in the work and you're willing to like take those no's and just put them on like a armor and say, you know what, the next one will be a yes.

I think that you'll do great.

But no, it was the experience that that led me to now be bold enough to say, I'm going to build a campus and it's going to be really great.

You know, it was that experience, of course.

OK,

thank you so

much.

Of course.

Yeah, and a great point on that.

I know so many of our entrepreneurship students are interested and passionate about entrepreneurship, which is great.

But I think right out of school for some students, a corporate path can be really valuable.

So with that in mind, a big shout out to Florida Atlantic Career Services.

Tomorrow is our job fair right here on campus.

And I think there are a lot of opportunities there for students.

Entrepreneurship is one of those things that you can always make.

Moonlight a little bit.
