The stuff coming out of Silicon Valley is dorky. Like, it's not very sexy.

When I was coming up as an entrepreneur, I had to fight for everything I got, and there was no clear roadmap of how to be successful.

I learned from my past.

Social media, like blogs, are truth-seeking technologies. In fact, the Internet itself is the greatest truth-generating device ever created.

When I finished school, I took my entire life savings - $5,000 - and invested it in a business. I was young. I was inexperienced. But I was an entrepreneur, and I was proud. And in six weeks, I was broke.

It's important to reflect upon how far we've come in achieving gender equality in the workplace and how we could move faster toward even greater goals.

I would like to thank all of the fans who have supported me throughout my career with the New England Revolution, Fulham, Tottenham, Seattle Sounders, and the U.S. Men's National Team. Y'all have always made me feel at home, and it is something that I will always remember.

I'm blessed to be able to say that at every juncture in my career, I succeeded.
