What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
When I started the journey to founding OJO Labs, I had a fear of failure. I was familiar with the risks and responsibilities of founding a company, and it led to significant apprehension. A mentor advised me to embrace this fear and channel my focus and energy to make sure it doesn’t become a reality.
