thank you thank you Scott thank everyone

0:05
when was the first time you knew
0:08
I bet most of you knew as teenagers even
0:11
younger
0:12
some of you later in life
0:15
first you're just curious you spend a
0:18
lot of time online doing research
0:24
now let's get in it
0:26
you're afraid because people like you
0:28
were misunderstood
0:30
do you look for others like you first
0:32
you know quietly then more openly you
0:35
met some of them casually for you know
0:37
coffee some of those lend to long-term
0:40
bonds
0:42
and along the way you develop a thick
0:45
skin an ability to stand up for yourself
0:47
and to let criticism and judgment roll
0:50
off your sleeve and then one day you're
0:53
ready to take the leap to tell the world
0:56
then you found out who your true friends
0:58
were but you also had some explaining to
1:00
do
1:01
it's not a lifestyle dad I Was Born This
1:05
Way
1:06
I'm speaking of course about being an
1:09
entrepreneur
1:12
[Applause]
1:19
I came up as an entrepreneur in my 40s
1:21
decades after coming out as gay I always
1:25
had it in me and I'm sure a lot of you
1:27
had it in you from early on
1:29
it's tough to be an entrepreneur and it
1:32
can be tough to be gay depending on
1:34
where you are in your life and where you
1:36
live
1:37
but at the same time there's that little
1:39
voice inside of you that's telling you
1:41
to try a little harder
1:43
to knock a hundred doors to get one open
1:45
to pick yourself up when you fall in
1:49
and along the journey I was helped by so
1:52
many people and learn one thing
1:54
that the day only has 24 hours and you
1:58
only have two hands so at some point
2:00
your ability to accomplish anything is
2:03
going to be limited by the quality and
2:05
the strength of your relationships but
2:07
your ability to bring others along with
2:10
the journey and your own ability to help
2:12
them realize your dreams
2:15
I want to thank the board and staff or
2:18
startup for the ogubey Trailblazer award
2:21
and for everything that you guys do to
2:24
celebrate lgbtq entrepreneurship
2:27
and I want to dedicate thank you
2:30
[Applause]
2:36

2:38
many teams that been very fortunate to
2:40
be part of throughout my life from Fox
2:42

2:45
from wondering to Danvers and the team
2:48
that the proudest of my husband's car
2:51
are my kids thank you very much
2:56
