Moment caught of me talking about work!
Cheers!
Always smiling.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
I once flew to Spain because I thought I was in love with someone. And while the result ended in heartbreak, it was in this moment that I realized something incredible about myself. That I was the type of person who would [literally] fly across the planet for what my heart desired. And that is the most interesting thing about me. Sometimes it’s in our most vulnerable moments that we discover the most beautiful things about ourselves.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
I started a company while I was sleeping in my car/ sleeping on friend’s couches. What once started as an idea in a coffee shop with zero start up capital, grew into a nation-wide operation employing people across the US. I wouldn’t consider this to be the craziest thing I’ve ever done — but more so what people probably note most about me.
What are you passionate about?
We are truly capable of anything. We can go out and get the jobs we desire; we can create the jobs that don’t even exist yet. We can build the businesses we’ve always dreamt of. We can sign the fronts of checks, not just the backs of them. We can truly create anything. Nothing is impossible. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
I’d be every crayon in the box. They’re all beautiful. We are all beautiful.
