• ​Fear as Fuel: A deep lesson on why being fearful is actually good—it keeps you from being stagnant and motivates you to be the best you can be.
• ​Introducing Emoja: The story of her web ticketing app and its slogan, "Follow the Fun." She explains how she found a partner to help with the coding and how the app helps people find their community.
