I'm on a journey to unlock freedom and fulfillment.

I started my “hustle harder” journey in 1989. Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, USA, my family was poor, but our house was full of love. I was driven to contribute to our household income. So, I turned my skills into a side hustle and offered my services to the neighborhood. I was 12 and considered myself a seasoned professional at lawn care and snow removal. I wasn’t that good, but I had the confidence.

So many people living in my neighborhood were struggling to live. Drug abuse, health disparities, homelessness, gang violence, and crime consumed many people. Not having a father in my life for long periods did not help.

I was the beneficiary of early investments in technology from my grandmother. She was employed by Bell South. She bought video games, computers, and the Internet at a time when almost no one in my neighborhood could afford those luxuries. That early access to emerging tech set off my love for engineering and innovation.

Growing up in a poor single-parent household in Detroit taught me survival and grit.
‍
Years later, I experienced a significant reality check.
‍
My paternal father, challenged from drug addiction, held a sign under a freeway in Detroit, near 8 Mile Rd and Woodward Avenue. The sign read, “Homeless...Need Food.”

From that moment on, I committed myself to self-improvement no matter how often I failed.

I was fearless with confidence until another major challenge confronted my family. In 2012, my youngest child was born with a heart defect. A few months later, I was also laid off from work. It was a devastating combo punch to for our family. We escaped bankruptcy through the goodwill of friends, family, and strangers.

There was no specific moment for our turnaround.

There was only a never-stop attitude in response to the challenges.

My process is simple.

Learn through personal development and allow myself the freedom to fail.

Failure became my opportunity to internalize lessons learned. After that, I had to innovate and increase the likelihood of succeeding the next time. I bend the odds of success in my favor.

There have been times when I have failed in my career, personal life, and starting businesses. Each time, though, I have learned to pivot and adapt to sharpen my approach. 

I'm an executive at a global Fortune 100 company and serial entrepreneur.

I continue to fail even faster.
