    Q&A
    What's your favorite non-business book?

    Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

    If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?

    If I had all the money in the world, my life would probably consist of travel, hobbies, learning, and helping others, but for now, I'm pretty passionate & happy about what I'm working on.

    What words of advice would you give your younger self?

    I would tell my younger self to not care so much about what others think when making decisions, because sooner or later, you realize no one truly cares about you except your family & close friends. Those who care help you improve, instead of judging.

    What's the most creative thing you've ever done?

    The Lobby & Legaats. I have been forced to create both concepts from scratch, from the name, to the branding, to the strategy, MVP's, and functionalities. Most of my work before this was very finance/business-oriented, which isn't very creative.

    Which founders or startups do you most admire?

    A few below, in no particular order, with some non-traditional to tech:
    - J.K. Rowling
    - Evan Spiegel
    - Peter Thiel
    - Gary Vaynerchuk
    - Marcelo Claure

    What's your super power?

    I like to think I understand people very well.

    What's the best way for people to get in touch with you?

    email: [email protected] or [email protected]

    What words of wisdom do you live by?

    When there's a will, there's a way
