So join me. Let’s be authentic. Let’s be vulnerable. No more faking it. As we go about the journey of “making it” (which btw is not a static thing), let’s be open about our ups and downs.

Maren,

Not sure why I chose to write you privately, especially since you’re advocating “Brutal Vulnerability”, and being public about yours. 
I want you to know that I’m one of those people that are now feeling less alone — thanks to you.

I’m in the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, *just* learning that failure is an inevitable step to success, and more profoundly, to meaning.

You’re are one of my heroes. People I’m going to think about when I stumble, when I’m sure I’ll never make it.

I find you admirable and inspiring.

Marina
