You should plan 10 minutes and read this story from Emily Freeman. Here are some highlights I enjoyed hearing her speak about.

On growing up and being poor…

Because I was poor, I was nothing.

On why she’s in tech…

Life, in many ways, is a write-only database.

On being a house-wife…

I felt like a failure. I was clever, I had worked hard and yet there I was again — worth nothing.

On being a mom…

Giving birth was the first time I felt truly powerful.

On learning…

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
