Last Fall, a group of five students from the Carlson Business School at the University of Minnesota asked if they could do their semester assignment about my company Thoughtful Pinch. The plan was for me to give them information about my start up and in turn, they would treat the information as a case study. I was both honored and hopeful. How cool that they chose my company? And my hope was that this group would give me a thoughtful pinch in the form of feedback, advice, detailed information and/or constructive criticism.
Early on in my relationship with the hub, he said something that I will never forget. We were at a party or a bar - somewhere where drinking was taking place - and a group of women walked in. One woman was wearing an outfit that she shouldn’t have worn because she was spilling out of her top and skirt. The hub (boyfriend at the time) asked, “Who lied to her?” I was confused. What was he talking about? He clarified: When she was getting ready to go out for the night she must have asked her friends how she looked. Someone lied to her when they said that she looked good.
