What's the biggest misconception people have about you?
How did you handle the intense hustle during the early days of your career?

I always compare it to taking a plane off the ground. At the start, it takes a lot of fuel it's intense. But once you're in the air, things cruise a bit more.

But eventually, I had to learn to relax the schedule, find hobbies, and that's when I actually made more money.
