Entrepreneurship is often portrayed as a race for wealth or a sprint to success, but for me, it has always been about something deeper: honesty, values, and legacy. My journey has been shaped not just by business decisions but by a family tradition of resilience, faith, and enterprise—from my great-grandfather’s bamboo chairs to my parents’ teaching and coffee estates. These experiences planted the seeds of an entrepreneurial spirit grounded in authenticity.
In my work today—whether writing books, nurturing Coffee Bello Potsdam, coaching, or investing—I hold onto a single guiding principle: stay true to myself and honest with others. Honesty builds trust, and trust is the foundation of any lasting success. Titles and numbers may fade, but what endures is the impact we create when we lead with integrity, offer value, and love the work we do.
