Takeaways

Kelly

1. Focusing on others around you can take away from your own growth and success. Don’t worry about your competitors. 
2. Get back to the basics - do the things you are really passionate about and the core of what you believe. Skip the bells and whistles. 

Maria

1. When we have a big setback or loss, get right back out there and find motivation in the people and experiences around you.
2. Never give up.
