Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I have two inspirations, the first is God; He gives me the ideas, passion, and courage. The second are my parents. They are good, kind, honest, hard-working, and generous people whose love for humanity knows no bounds. The combination of my inspirations push me to operate in authenticity, wisdom, and love.

I strive to make a difference for them. They are the reason I pray; the reason why I can’t afford to give up, no matter how daunting or crazy things get. My motivations and strengths are powered by radical optimism, reading The Word, and finding solace in the presence of my family and God.
