Ask more of you
"...That summer, I signed up to volunteer at an orphanage and teach English in El Crucero, Nicaragua. While I expected to arrive and volunteer my heart, I found myself instead volunteering my mind with a focus on classroom logistics and online fundraising for the larger organization. I was using business as a force for good. Business itself was just a tool — its use and application were what mattered."

"...About the age of 27 I was searching for the right environment to apply myself. I was reading a book and the tiny piece I remember most was that maximum differentiation required only 10 degrees, not 180. This absolutely clicked with me; a lightning bolt. I created this visual for myself and have since shared this example hundreds of times."

Becoming fearless
