Growing up was crazy
Growing up felt like walking a tightrope over two worlds—never fully belonging in either. As someone of mixed heritage, I was always “the other,” forced to defend my identity on both sides. Every day was a battle just to prove I belonged.
Then there was Sam—my brother by choice, the lone white kid in our neighborhood. He, too, knew what it felt like to stand alone. But when Sam & I became buddies, something shifted. We went from two isolated fighters to an unbreakable force. Side by side, we stopped surviving and started thriving.
That partnership was my first glimpse of what’s possible when vision meets tribe. Three kids in a sandbox one day, one left bloody, while the other two kept playing in peace.
Fighting paved the way
Fighting wasn’t just about throwing punches—it was the grit that drove me to chase every dream. Kids throwing punches didn't land near as hard as life throwing punches. I clung to my vision like a drowning man with a life preserver, till it pulled me up out of the neighborhood, landing me a college scholarship. But I never did it alone. There was always a teammate at my side, a partner in every struggle—until that team became a tribe. In business, your first—and most crucial—lesson is this: build your tribe. A vision without community is just a daydream. When you surround yourself with people who share your hunger, your mission gains momentum, and obstacles become stepping stones.

She could barely breathe and she couldn't swallow. She had to fight for every breath and the only way for to eat was intravaeously. She was given a 5% chance to live. My world and my life were about to be impacted forever by little GGs, unwillingness to go without a fight.
Do you want to talk about your biggest dreams and visions becoming a reality? What about when your biggest fears move in instead? My family was in a hospital room and Ronald Mcdonald House for 5 months. We were in a fight...
