I attribute my success to the support that I get from my family and my friends. I think it's very important, because if you don't have that support, you kind of feel an emptiness, if you will. Like, you're doing it almost for nothing. What drives me most is the support from my family, and showing them that we can make a difference in this town, in this world. And not only just my family, but the youth here, everybody. That support system is what keeps me going and makes everything I do feel meaningful and worthwhile.

I think the best advice is that the time you put in, you'll get what you put in. Basically, because if you don't put the time in, you're not going to get anything out of it. Some people think they're just going to get into a position and breeze right through, but that's not necessarily the case in insurance companies. You definitely need to put the time in. But it is rewarding, you know, it is a rewarding industry, but you need to put the time in definitely. The harder you work, the more you get paid. You really can curate your own destiny in this field.
