Best advice he ever received: Opportunities are everywhere. You have to learn how to spot them and prepare yourself to have the ability to act. A relentless, boundary-less mindset goes a long way. Align yourself with likeminded people that have passion, energy, and an edge in the area of interest. Follow your gut and dreams.
