We also explore topics like: What inspired Alex to become his own boss Why customization and collaboration are key to his success How he balances deep technical expertise with client-friendly communication His take on work-life balance and the importance of being present Thoughts on passive income, commercial real estate, and growing a business   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Be a Guest Are you a successful business owner, entrepreneur, or professional with insights to share?
