Watching Meryl Davis and Charlie White win the first U.S. gold medal in ice dancing was deceiving. They glided across the ice and every movement melded into the next with an ease and grace that made it look easy. Nothing like strapping a couple of sharp blades on your feet and gliding across the ice, right? For those of you know that know me and my inherent lack of grace, you can stop laughing now.
I bet 17 years ago when Davis and White first started, and their mothers began to carpool them to tournaments, everyone would have thought it crazy to consider that a couple of kids would win gold with the highest score ever recorded. Put a couple of visionaries together, throw in a heaping helping of hard work, and a dash of luck, and voila! You now have a gold medal.
I bet Valerie Freeman, a teacher starting a business, heard the same “you are crazy” when she started. But Valerie, in essence, strapped those sharp blades on her feet and took off. Decades later, she has forged new trails for business owners through numerous projects including her staffing company, AnserTeam (a project well ahead of its time), and her work with the Texas Women’s Venture Fund.
YES is the place for people who talk about things others don’t understand. We are glad you are here!
