What we need to do is kind of wrap our heads around the concept: the more we surround ourselves with other strong hard-working dynamic women, the bigger and better we make the opportunities that we’re involved in. There’s enough for everyone to go around, as long as we think of it more as expanding our resources.”

i’ve not been fortunate enough to have a female business partner, but i’ve collaborated with some amazing men on various projects. before reading this article, i thought about how fortunate i am to be currently working with someone that i respect. i admire his work, dedication, drive, and attention to detail. working with him challenges me to do and be better.

working with someone is not always easy, but it definitely presents more opportunities for growth.

i’d love to have an opportunity to work with a woman who inspires me at the level he does.
