I had to work my way through school, which shaped my work ethic and understanding of the industry.

My father taught me the importance of hard work and integrity by having me do all the dirty jobs on the farm from a young age, which instilled a strong work ethic in me.

I learned the value of hard work and the importance of education from my dad, who wanted us to avoid the backbreaking work he did.

I grew up in a middle-class family, and my father's optimism and work ethic had a significant impact on my outlook on life. I learned a little bit about business when I was young, realizing that sometimes employees' interests can differ from those of the employer.

I grew up in a tough environment as an immigrant, which shaped my intense drive to succeed and win.

Working with skilled engineers taught me the limits of materials and the importance of precision in manufacturing, which influenced my product designs.

I had to learn so much in six months to prepare for the Navy SEALs, which really developed my work ethic.

I was very intentional about my choices and believe there are trade-offs in both paths of education and entrepreneurship; both can lead to valuable experiences.

Everything I've done in my life, I didn't want to do; I built my willpower through years of suffering and hard work.
