It’s been six years since my dad passed away, and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He wasn’t just my father — he was my best friend, my quiet mentor, and the person who grounded me no matter how chaotic life got. I can still hear his voice when I’m overthinking something — that calm, steady tone that seemed to cut through every storm. Two lessons in particular have shaped how I live, lead, and build my businesses today. They’re simple, but I find myself returning to them constantly — in moments of doubt, decision, and even in success.
