My worst day is away from the office, when I'm traveling and not with the Britelings.

I love just being home with the kids and, seeing what they do when they're bored and then I just follow.

I think a universal feeling that we all share is that live experiences create indelible memories.

I'm thrilled to share the story of my journey in building Eventbrite and what I've learned along the way as a working mother and entrepreneur.

We focus on Eventbrite and our family. That's how we spend our time, full stop.

Getting over the stigma of needing to appear as if I do it all myself took about 12 months. I finally realized that the only way to be a successful, happy mother, founder, wife, and daughter was to accept the help that was being offered to me.

It's extremely easy to get people to share what events they are going to because events are inherently social.

There's always a little bit of friction when you're trying to democratize an industry.

That seems to be my superpower - really understanding what motivates people.

I wasn't the kid with the lemonade stand.

As far as funding and building a team, you being romantically involved with your cofounder really shouldn't play a factor in how you run the company and how you create a team or find resources. It's all about the partnership.

If you're going to be an entrepreneur, most likely you're going to be Type A - stubborn.

I have not always been a risk taker.

Our team finds motivation in knowing that we're transforming the ticketing industry, this notion that we're bringing democratization to an industry and disrupting it using technology.

To force a culture creates something that is inherently not sustainable. It does not evolve forward.

One of the biggest mistakes that founders can make is doing something that maybe seems like a great idea, and seems like a good use of time, but actually isn't measurable, significant, incremental growth.

It's important for founders to think about how they would build their company from scratch - again.

There's a lot of clarity in hindsight.

I was a dancer and performer.

I'm not good at throwing around rhetoric.

Each company is different because they get their DNA from the founders.

I've done everything from traditional yoga to Bikram yoga to Pilates.

We wanted to harness the power of technology to make it possible for anyone to sell tickets to any type of event.

If you think about stripping away 80 percent of the things that don't matter and focusing on the the 20 percent that will actually make a difference, I think you'll find great results even in the toughest of situations and the harshest of environments.

We thought we could reinvent the way people came together for live events. We wanted to ticket everything from a five-person yoga class to a 10-person cookery class to a fashion event.

Acquiring customers at the start is one of the hardest things you'll ever experiences as an entrepreneur.

It's incredibly important to be - once you do have a product - acutely observational about the trends.

One of the reasons why we were so successful in integrating with Facebook was because we saw people using Facebook to promote their event and link back to Eventbrite before Facebook Connect and before the event's API was even available.

What we've found was that people were utilizing Eventbrite to turn their passions into revenue-generating ventures.

One of the most brilliant parts of being a first-time founder is that you experience everything for the first time. It never gets old.

I started my career in Hollywood, where I learned the rumors were true - having success there really was dictated by how who you knew, not what you knew. I grew frustrated by the fact that careers could be made and broken by relationships alone.

Live experiences are more than fundamental - they're transformative.

My mom always instilled in me that it was braver to ask for help when you need it. That has absolutely stuck with me over the years but became even more important in practice once I became a mother. It may sound trite, but the concept of 'it takes a village' really could not be more true.

If I were to think of myself as a role model, I would say that it's really important to realize when you are a role model and to be willing to give advice, share how you do things.

The gender parity is something that has been organic to Eventbrite since we started building a team.

The majority of our happiness at work is determined by the people who surround us. Strong teams produce more content, launch more products, and sign more contracts. And most importantly, they have fun doing it.

Co-founders shouldn't excel in the same areas - it's inefficient and will inevitably lead to conflicts down the road.

To be a true leader, I needed to better understand my unique strengths and how to apply them across the company as we grew.

Many tech companies experience steep growth curves that require them to build their teams at breakneck speeds.

If you want to build a sustainable culture, you have to have a strong philosophy and then let people do with it what they will and be OK with that.

The classic problem in a relationship is a person trying to control the other person. People just want to conquer somebody.

'Tragedy' and 'Loud City Song' are both inspired by stories from the past.

I often find that I like the vibe of not having technology around me.

I think what's interesting in L.A. is that there's a lot of variety because L.A. is very spread out. I think there is a lot I don't know about, to be completely honest. It's a very mysterious town.

'Have You in My Wilderness,' the title track, is about the idea of possessing a person, or saying, 'You're mine; you're in my world now.' I was drawn to that as an idea less from my own experience than from listening to music written by men that was kind of male gaze-y.

David Bowie - I definitely knew some of his music as a teenager, but I didn't actually listen to his music as much until I was in my 20s.

I was pretty scared of the idea as a younger person of being a musician on the road. It didn't occur to me as a possibility.

Amidst all the internal and external babble we experience daily, it's hard to find one's foundation.

I try to ignore people's opinions about my music - you don't want to hold yourself back because of that stuff.

Putting my audience to sleep isn't what I'm going for.
