Fast Five Questions:
- If you woke up and your business was gone, you have $500, a laptop, a place to live, and food, what would you do first? “I would find the next problem I want to solve. It has to be something I care about and something I want to work on. I want to talk to 10 people that might have this problem.”
- What is the biggest mistake that you have made in business? “Your business is not an extension of you. It doesn’t define you. Towards the end of the moving company I was totally burned out. I held on too long.”

- What is a tool that you use everyday that you would recommend? “Convertkit. Hotjar. Analytics”
