What prompted you to start it?
Looking back, what do you wish someone had told you before you started?
What were your biggest challenges in the first two years?
What positively surprised you, or worked better than you expected?
How did you know it was going to be successful? Or did you?
What almost made you quit, and what kept you going?
Many successful founders have started businesses that didn't work out. If that applies to you, what happened and what did you take from it?
