I hate being asked “What’s your why?”… for me its not enough.
I don’t like the question why. Well...I do and I ask it a lot lol. But in business? In a business plan? When you’re first starting out? I hate it. They say, “When you know your why, it will root you.” When I started searching for my own why, I realized something... I’m not rooted [...]
Why don’t you respect you?
"Don't be like me, put some respect on your name, your thoughts, your opinions and YOUR VISION." In my post about consistency (read here) and its relation to social media in 2025 I went down my own content rabbit hole, and what I found was crazy.

Literally having a mindset of you as my customer/audience is going to get whatever I feel like giving.
