Sonay, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?

My biggest risk to date is quitting my 9-5 and going all in on my business, Sonay & Co. If you had asked me before if I foresaw myself as an entrepreneur, my answer would have been no. Yet, I quit my consistent and pretty steady job just two months shy of 8 years.
