Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with some aspiring entrepreneurs at my alma mater New York University. It was such a thrill for me to be speak with students about their future endeavors - their ideas, their hopes and their dreams. As I listened to these energized students and as I shared my experiences with them being an entrepreneur, I began to think about the importance of having a mentor to listen, guide, and help along the way. There were many mentors in my career like Thomas B. Gerfen, FAIA from RMW Architecture + Interiors and my sister Hanna Rodriguez-Farrar and without them, I wouldn't be where I am today!
In business, I believe everyone needs a mentor. And, if you don't have one - go find one! Starting a business is not easy but having an experienced and knowledgeable mentor can walk you through the many stages it takes to get to point A to point B. The mentor is also there to share experiences of both failures and successes.
At this stage in my career, I want to give back to a new generation of aspiring entrepreneurs and I am thrilled to be a mentor at my alma mater.
