“The ride is a rollercoaster and it’s important to keep your emotions in check — Founding a company and helping it grow is not for the faint of heart. When I first started Skylar, I had many days of wondering if I did the right thing or if the company was going to work. But I had a strong community around me and a strong foundation of passion that helped me move forward. It’s easy to get caught up in the setbacks or to get over-excited about the wins but I have found it is important to keep your emotions under control and stay steady through it all. It’s emotional, it’s hard but it’s also incredibly rewarding and exciting. I have come to expect the unexpected and be okay with the unknown and that’s really helped me stay cool-headed throughout the trials and tribulations.”
