my name is Linda you're shortening my company is hands-on labs my husband and I are both retired educators peter is a science professor and I was an accounting and business professor years ago when we were living in Leadville Colorado Peter had a lot of students that just couldn't get across the mountain passes to be in labs we developed this science kit that really does replicate the exact kind of experiments utilizing the exact same chemicals and supplies the students would do on campus the only difference is that they utilize small quantities that are safe that can be shipped even though they're potentially hazardous chemicals like hydrochloric acid cobalt nitrate things of that nature when I started this it was me and I wasn't really out to make a big profit we were just trying to cover our costs now I've got like 50 people whose lives and families depend on us running this company well plus hundreds of colleges and universities across the u.s. whose students really need what we do so there's an obligation there's a responsibility but we feel good about what we do today my role is more one of promoting science education and helping the people who work for us to do their jobs well and continue to make our products even more effective I feel like Andre Previn directing now rather than my being in the orchestra and playing an instrument another advantage of being an entrepreneur is it gives you the opportunity to live your values and our legacy is that we are serving quality science education we're helping to reduce science illiteracy in the world not only am i doing something that I feel proud of but it's given me the opportunity to make friends with other women entrepreneurs that share my issues and we can talk openly about them I think a lot of girls especially my generation brought up thinking men have some kind of secret knowledge we don't know about sorry guys I've learned that's not true if you're surrounded by bright women who understand they've been there they have the same problems having that support of other female entrepreneurs has been invaluable to me
