My early years were foundational for me. I had lots of energy and crazy ideas as a kid. My mom always listened to those crazy ideas and gave me the leeway to make mistakes. She encouraged me to work hard and, when things didn’t go well, reflect on it, dust myself off, and try again. Over the years I learned, became confident, and realized I love business and entrepreneurship. I’m super appreciative of her approach, her love, and most all, her patience with me!

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Thanks for being a great mom!
