Quotes from Today's Episode:

"And I feel a little silly, but, I'm dealing with feeling a little stupid and just not being such a snob about everything and put myself out there in a way that's vulnerable for me. Instead trying to do somethign strategic that makes me money. That's where it's a negative." - Chauncey 

"It is hard to live in this capitalist, corporate world and be a creative entrepreneur. It is very hard. I hear you on that one. You don't feel like you have permission to be creative." -Jenny
