Summary

In this special episode, I had the opportunity to speak with a group of young students about entrepreneurship, mindset, and the importance of curiosity. We talked about my early days as an entrepreneur—selling lemonade, knocking on doors, and finding what I loved. I shared how I see failure as a learning opportunity, why gratitude makes me one of the happiest people on earth, and the power of saying "maybe" instead of "no" to new experiences.

The students had some amazing questions—about overcoming challenges, finding inspiration, and what it really takes to be successful. I also broke down the reason I created VeeFriends and how the characters help bring these lessons to life.

If you're an entrepreneur, a student, or just someone looking for motivation, this episode is packed with insights you can apply to your own journey.

Would love to hear your thoughts—what lesson stood out to you the most? Let me know on social!
