As much as I love gym clothes and snapbacks, Itโs fun getting dolled up once in a while. ๐ ๐๐
The Zuckerberg Way
The rise of digital media has brought about a new renaissance period. Never has it been easier to learn something new, switch careers, or start your own business. With that said, I think we'll see a lot more entrepreneurs in the next generation. They think differently. If they don't know something, they find the answer because they can. As for digital literacy, it won't be an advantage. It will be an expectation. If you're a teen and what to learn how to utilize digital media to achieve meaningful goals, message me! ๐๐ผ

Dr. Rebecca Foo and I Talk Dancing
Dr. Rebecca Foo was one of the first people I met when I started my career in 2008. We went to visit the Switzer Learning Center to attend a graduation event. I'll never forget the amazing, heartfelt speeches that the students made about how much Switzer had done for them and I've admired this woman ever since. Today, I started the morning hanging out with Dr. Foo and having an awesome conversation about hip hop, West Coast swing, and dance competitions. She rocks! ๐๐๐ฝ #casualfriday

It's been tough...
Itโs been a tough weekend, probably the lowest Iโve felt during this journey so far. There are so many things to be proud of, things that I am proud of, but doubt is quite the foe. All it takes is acknowledgement of one thought and suddenly, my brave, bold leap into entrepreneurship can turn into the insane decision of jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. However, my greatest enemy is guilt...
Finding Purpose
Entrepreneurs at Starbucks
My late night hustle this evening at Starbucks led me to meet this truly inspiring female entrepreneur,@KarolPardo. She started her business when she was 19 and now, itโs a huge international production company that works with some of the biggest brands in the world! She had a lot of insightful advice to share that I had to start taking notes! A lot of stuff that I really needed to hear today. Thanks Karol! So good meeting you! ๐
Empathy is Difficult
Friday night rage at#Starbucks tonight. Trying to get my head above water and ignore the panic I constantly feel in my chest. Unsubscribed from Seth Godinโs newsletter earlier, which made me sad. He always has such insightful words and thoughts to share but he sends out too many emails!! And Iโm like bro, youโre all up my inbox and itโs stressing me out. Iโll just follow you on Twitter. Check him out if you get a chance. Heโs definitely an amazing human being. ๐๐ผ
