These are the pieces that inspire him:

Rest At The End

This quote is from Mr. Fisk, Kobe Bryant's middle school English teacher. Kobe is a guy I look up to for his work ethic, and tactical strategy on how to get better. This piece is specifically about perseverance, executing a goal, and not stopping until the job is done.

One Life

I’ve had this piece hanging up in my house forever. It just reminds me to go after anything I'm hesitant to do. It's that simple.

No One Becomes Great By Fitting In

"Authenticity has no competition." I learned a long time ago to be exactly who I am. People will love or hate you—but it will be for the real you. It just makes life easier.

Peanuts - No Rain No Flowers

"As many failures as possible, as fast as possible, once." I've learned you are going to come across a lot of micro-failures, but as long as they're not fatal and you learn, you'll become a better human and entrepreneur from it. The path is never easy. You need to take the bad with the good, and always find the silver living.

Muhammad Ali - Keep Going

This piece holds a special place for me because it was our first official license and the piece I had over my desk in the early days. There is nothing better than working long nights, looking up over your desk, and having this piece serve as a reminder to keep pushing the pace.
