When I’m not building ventures, you’ll find me:
- On the volleyball court (a reminder that teamwork and strategy win games and businesses).
- Reading fictional books; because every great entrepreneur needs creativity and a break from spreadsheets.
- Enjoying live music at concerts (there’s no better fuel for innovation than raw, unfiltered energy).
- Traveling to new places.
- Experimenting in the kitchen (turns out, mastering a cooking isn’t so different from scaling a startup: patience, precision, and adaptability).
My journey
My entrepreneurial spark ignited with Jennifer Prosek’s book called Army of Entrepreneurs. It taught me that empowering teams to think like owners—not just employees, is the key to scalable, resilient organizations. Prosek’s blueprint for building a “combat-ready” business army inspired me to prioritize culture, delegation, and trust in every venture I lead.
But the road hasn’t been linear. I’ve:
- Launched ventures that stalled due to market misreads.
- Hired talent that didn’t align with company values.
- Scaled too fast, too soon, burning capital and morale.
Each failure, though bruising in the moment, became a masterclass in grit. Instead of shrinking, I leaned into curiosity: Why did this happen? What systems could’ve prevented it? How can I adapt? These lessons now fuel my ventures and my insistence on failing forward, not backward.
