  2. “No, no. And in fact, I played at home, and then for the talent shows, of course, I'd show up, but it wasn't really until high school that I began getting really excited about the harp because I saw it more as a business.

  6. “I had created these sunscreen swipes, and apparently the swipes were a huge hit. So I would go around to stores during that period and the swipes were always gone. They were just wiped off the shelf. But the problem was I knew that my sales couldn't be great if there were no products on the shelf.
