There’s a saying, “It takes one to know one.” I believe entrepreneurs are the backbone of our economy because I’m one of them. I speak their language. I can also tell when they’re full of sh*t. One of my unfair advantages is the fact that I’m a fixer.

That means I can’t help walking into a store or shopping online and seeing what can and should be improved about a product packing, taste, ingredients and more. It’s a gift and a curse because I’m not easier satisfied. To me innovation and disruption is about seeing what others don’t see and either reinventing the category or introducing something totally unique. It’s mostly common sense combined with a high level of taste, the right team and a bit of luck.
