    Think & Grow Rich

    What's your favorite non-business book?

    Lucifer’s Banker

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

    Enjoying everything on an island in French Polynesia (I was just there last month and planning to spend one month per year going forward).

    What words of advice would you give your younger self?

    Stay away from disloyal and unethical people and don’t think that you can teach anyone these two important characteristics which are unfortunately proven only in due time.

    Richard Branson

    What's your super power?

    Networking and connecting people

    Those who are supposed to reach me, will. Those who are not supposed to reach me, won’t. ;)

    What words of wisdom do you live by?

    Enjoy each day as if it’s your last day because one day very soon, you will look back at your last day and you will only be able to enjoy the memories of them all while then starting to learn about the new form your spirit has just taken.

    I never work and I am never on vacation.
    I always work and I am always on vacation.

    What was the most impactful class you took in school?

    History class in 10th grade when I realized the huge importance of studying history as a way to avoid making similar mistakes.

    What's something you wish you had done years earlier?

    Focused more on going with my gut feeling rather than mainly with the intelligence I had allowed to flow in my brain.

    What's an obstacle you've overcome?

    Dealing with my closest mentee/business partner stealing almost $1 million from me.
