Hey friend,
When I was young
Around 8-9 years old
My mom labeled me with a title that stuck with me.
An “Entrepreneur.”
The word is muddled now, but I still hold it in great regard.
When most people think of an entrepreneur, they think of a slimy guy who would do anything to make a quick buck or the influencers on Instagram showing off their 8th Lambo.
But let me fix your idea of what an entrepreneur is…
The textbook definition is:
“A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.”
Very true.
But somewhat boring…
Here's one I like better:
An entrepreneur is a professional problem solver.
They’re innovators.
They’re creators.
They’re doers.
But most of all… they’re curious about the world.
Every entrepreneur is different, but these defining factors are what I aim to embody throughout my journey.
And to be honest...
Most days, I still have no idea what I’m doing.
But I show up daily and learn as much as possible.
In my eyes, that is a recipe for success.
...Yet, only time will tell.
(Big updates coming soon for my first start-up - stay tuned!)
🏝️ Travel
I’m in Mexico for a family vacation this week! My Spanish still needs some work, but I’ve been getting better. Next time I come back, I hope to be close to fluent. Reach out to me if you want to learn together! Here’s my favorite picture I've taken so far :)

📚 Book: “Place Nice, But Win” by Michael Dell
A biography of the founder of The Dell Computer Company. Before reading this book, I didn’t know much about Michael Dell. Yet, within 100 pages, he has become one of my favorite entrepreneurs. He talks about operating a business ethically and with a high moral standard. His #1 trait that led to his success? Curiosity.
