One of the most exhilarating things you can do is travel alone. Travel wide, and far - another country - entirely alone. Stay in hostels and force yourself to make friends. Be who you want to be. Do what you want to do, when you want to do it. You learn a lot about yourself when traveling solo.

The author completely glosses over a crucial fact: an individual's face is representative of the lifestyle that he or she lives. Fat; thin; tan; pale; bearded; bald. Is your hair buzzed military grade, or does it spill over your shoulders? Do you take care of your skin? Do you wax your eyebrows?

Our faces certainly tell some sort of story, but there's more to it than bone structure and brow size.

Looks like they cherry-picked a condensed list of the "most important" questions, likely out of respect to the fact that there are only 7 days to complete the fellowship application

pbjorklund asked a good question. Do you have good answers to what makes you different from SquareSpace, Weebly, Wix, etc? And why people should give their money to you instead of them? Because, while your landing page is clean and informative, your branding doesn't inspire me to believe you're special. If I were you, I'd leverage my small, scrappy status to show users I can give them something that the big players in the site-builder market can't.

Also: cool that you designed the landing page using SimplyBuilt! I would advertise that.

Am I the only one who thinks adding "Ms." before her name every time it is mentioned is a ridiculous journaling practice? It just screams "this executive is a woman, evaluate her through that lens." If "Michael Mayer" was the CEO of Yahoo instead of "Marissa Mayer," they would've said "Mayer," not "Mr. Mayer."

What % of resources does Weebly devote to personal websites (www.myname.com) versus business websites (www.mycompany.com)?

Got a link? Wikipedia confirms the $30K loan from dad, but can't find the interview on google.
