What’s your biggest source of inspiration?

Motivational videos help me a lot, but deep down I just have a desire to help people. I’m inspired by those who are able to help people successfully and want to do the same.

Do you have any advice for others looking to do what you’ve done?

Add value to the most successful people you can get in front of. They will put you way farther ahead than any college or lessons you will get anywhere else.
