Career Profile: Daniella Pierson, The Newsette
"The harder you work, the luckier you get. My father constantly uses that motto in his own companies, and it’s a mantra that both of my hard-working parents live by. No one accidentally stumbles upon success, you have to earn it."

Career Profile: Cynthia Rowley, Fashion Designer
"I used to think, 'If only this would happen, I’d be set.' I’ve learned through the years that everything you do is cumulative. There’s never one thing that will make or break you. The point is to edit and amplify existing successes while layering on fresh ideas."

5 Good Finds: April 2018
These are a few of my favorite things!
Career Profile: Kinjil Mathur, Squarespace
"I live by the immigrant mentality to “earn your job every day.”The work never stops because the hustle is real, and there are many less fortunate people that would die for what you have. That’s how my parents raised me, and so, with every step up in my career, I feel a deep sense of responsibility to be louder, work harder and deliver greater impact."

Career Profile: Kayla Itsines, Bikini Body Guide
"Don't compare yourself to anyone else. We are all on our own journey and timeline, and what someone else's strengths and aspirations are may be different to yours, and that's okay. When you start competing with other people both professionally and personally, you lose sight of the big picture and what you need to achieve."
