Cheryl gave me the straight dope about starting a company. You should talk to her right now if you think you want to start something in 6 months!
Every check-in call was the most productive 30 minutes of my week. Great advice plus amazing hype-women.
The feedback is brutally honest and direct. It made me think about things in ways that I would have never before.

What are you waiting for, Angel?
