From $30MM in Capital Raised...to Nothing...and then a Comeback, w/ Amy Nelson Founder, The Riveter

The biggest thing with the foundation that I've always had is I am a collector of people. And I am constantly seeking out people to talk to. When I want to understand something, I go to the expert and I use it in all areas of my life. When my husband got in this legal battle with Amazon, I know, like every white collar crime professor in America, right? Like, I know, like, I know a lot of them. I've talked to a lot of them. Because the thing that we don't realize in this world, and it's especially true in this modern world with the Internet, is you can connect to anyone you want to. Really, you have a good shot if you just reach out. But when I reach out, I stay in touch with people. And I don't stay in touch with people, just when I need something. I just stay in touch with people because I'm interested in them and what they're doing. Being a collector of people has opened my network so that when I want to build or when I want to grow or when I want to be connected to somebody else, a third party, I have someone to reach out to help me. And I think that's so important. That's the foundation of everything. Not everything, but most things. That's the foundation.
