Sarah believes that while not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur, everyone can benefit from living with an entrepreneurial mindset. 

Recognizing the gaps in traditional education, she built WIT into a global platform where young people launch businesses, non-profits, and social movements, even earning college credit through a partnership with UC San Diego. Sarah champions the power of an entrepreneurial mindset for both youth and adults. She openly shares lessons from her own journey, from early business missteps to redefining failure as a tool for growth.
