Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

As a young man, I’ve utilize my surrounding resources to gain further financial wisdom and growth. It also, helped me establish a footwork in entrepreneurship. By my teens, I had clientele in cosmetology career, while taking additional courses to complete cosmetologist certification. And, utilizing my vocal abilities to further my educational career, which was supported, financially throughout my collegiate career.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

As an entrepreneur, I’ve had to unlearn that family will not be your first supporters. I was thought my success will involve my family as first buyers. As a realist, I realized those that don’t know you will be your first and only customers.
