I love selling things and building businesses. I love getting know my customers, understanding their problems, and helping them solve them. I love the competition of marketing, delivering great customer experience, and figuring out the optimal business strategy. But most of all I love the people I have had the opportunity to work with and lead. Leading people is the thing that brings the most joy for me in business. Well executed tasks, done consistently towards a unified north star, deliver the results you want. If they don't, you're in the wrong market.
