Key Quotes:
- “I felt like I could add more value if I was on my own, getting to work with more companies. I also just get bored a little easier. So, it’s more fun for me to have different projects happening ongoing, versus kind of working on the same thing all the time.” – Andrea Yoder Clark
- “I actually got to apply what I was learning into the world in a way that was really making a difference. And, that to me, was super powerful to be able to see the impact of how these skills could be used to generate interest in a company, and/or impact in a community if I’m working with a nonprofit.” – Andrea Yoder Clark
- “What I did as the CEO, was really make an effort to be understanding and compassionate with all my employees. Now, we all have life interfering in a way that we had to separate a little bit differently in the past.” – Andrea Yoder Clark
