- please talk about how I started a start up in 2020, that is focused on a DTC but 2020 happened and covid stopped all travel, and we took on a lot VC seed funding at the end of 2019 for a exploratory and development of the minimum viable product but 2020 stopped all travel and we could not go out and find R&D partners or vendor factories. the issue was we took on a lot of vc funding from sources who wanted us to grow at all costs, partners that would leave at the first signs of adversity which with 2020 a lot of our VC's pulled their money back. what I learned from this that I had the wrong mindset I was focused on scaling and scaling quickly without regard to find true partners that were more than a source of money but that should be sources of advice, consultation and support. I should have focused on growing the start up slower but with a much stronger foundation.

please talk about, I am the youngest out of 5 sibling, my siblings are very intellectual, very personable, highly qualified by the education they have received, and are "type A" personalities. so from a very young age, to get anything that I would want i.e. watch a show, play a game outside. although I did not know it at the time, to deal with and convince my siblings to do anything was always an intellectual endeavor that had principles based on diplomacy. in a house where you are the youngest but where our age differences are not by a lot, you learn very quickly that you need to convince the others by focusing on coalition building, bargaining, and debating on the merits of conducting any activity i.e. why should we play on the trampoline with you instead of basketball. you have to learn to make deals and compromise and trade etc.
