What’s most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation? It always takes more time and more money. Always stay true to what you believe in. The more people you talk to and the more they get your passion, concept and “ways to make their life easier” is the most rewarding thing to me.

What’s the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make? Not delegating the right jobs to the right people while thinking they can do it all.

What are the top three lessons you’ve learned as an entrepreneur? Always takes more time and more money. Get your team aligned and work together. Listen to your audience.
