The world needs more: 1. Purpose Driven Organizations 2. Trust 3. Positivity 4. Altruism WOW factor: I realized that I was never the most talented nor smartest person, but that I could make up for what I lacked in natural ability with hard work and persistence. A few moments that have helped shape this for me were when I pursued basketball in high school and college, I was always a benchwarmer, and I was able to work hard and eventually earn my way to a starting spot and eventually a college opportunity. Also when we launched our business in a highly competitive industry, and with persistence and hustle, we were able to overcome obstacles to win. My team members observe this work ethic and model it for themselves as well. I also realized that I enjoy coaching and inspiring others as a result of this. Favorite Color: Blue
