My many years of experience at various startups. Leading early-stage sales teams to series A & B funding rounds has prepared me for this role, And for what I felt was a huge gap in the market.

13. WHAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN IMPROVE ABOUT YOURSELF, AND WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE NOT DONE IT BY NOW?
Patience is not something I have a lot of, and I haven't done too much to improve it because it has also been my biggest ally at times, pushing me to move forward and make things happen, fast.

Do what you love, become the best at it, and the money will follow.
15. ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 - 10 BEING THE BEST. HOW WELL DO YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR TRUTH STORY IS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD BY YOUR COMMUNITY? ( WHY NOT 10? ) I think 8, mostly because I am still at the beginning of my journey, so much is still yet to come.
16. WHO DO YOU MOST ADMIRE AND WHY? I don't like to admire people because they mostly do not live up to your imagination of who you think they are; But if I had to choose someone, it'd be Mark Roberge from Hubspot, mostly because I believe his book was a game changer for my career.
