Tell us about yourself

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being able to be a solo entrepreneur after ten years still and being a father, husband, and friend. This is hard! I have written four books, consulted on brands globally, and been able to grow in ways unimaginable!

Experiencing the ups and downs but being able to ride the waves.

Be persistent, do the work every day no matter what, have faith.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
