What inspires you most about entrepreneurship?
  • The idea that anything you can think of could become a reality that you can build. Humans are unique in that we are naturally creative and curious creatures. We strive to build and think of ways to make things "better" for ourselves. Entrepreneurship is a modern way we can continue to be those curious and creative creatures, but actually make something of it and share it locally if not with the whole world.
