There’s a saying: “A dream without a team is just a wish.” That’s the essence of leadership and culture—because it’s not simply teamwork that makes the dream work, it’s the right team with the right leadership. As I shared in a previous post, I grew up playing a myriad of sports in my adolescence. But

There’s a saying, “Dig your well before you are thirsty.” What that means is simple: prepare for what you need before the moment you need it. When I was in university studying entrepreneurship and a myriad of other subjects, my focus wasn’t limited to lectures or textbooks. I intentionally read books that aligned with where

There is a quote I like quite a bit: “Your reputation precedes you.” For those wondering why I like it—it means your past actions have been consistent enough that others talk about how you behave before you even enter the room. This can be good or bad depending on how you treat people and how

The truth embedded in it is timeless: small, consistent actions will always outlast bursts of speed fueled by ego and overconfidence. Pair consistency with wisdom, and you’re operating in

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”It’s a common phrase… and it’s true. But lately, I’ve been reflecting on another side of comparison. Because if we’re honest, in every field from sports to business, from music to academia comparison happens. Especially at the top. Once you start excelling, people naturally want to line you up with

When I was 17, preparing to attend Fresno State University, I wasn’t just thinking about college… I was thinking about legacy. Even before choosing a school, I sat with a bigger question: What kind of life do I want to build after this? My vision was clear early on — I wanted to invest, to
