Why School Should Mean More Than Going Back to the Classroom
By the time October arrives, the excitement of a new school year has started to settle. The new notebooks are no longer new, schedules have become familiar, and students are finding their rhythm. But for me, this is also the point when we should ask a bigger question: What are children really gaining from being […]
What Happens to Kids Who Never Get Access to the Skills of the Future?
I often think about what happens when a child has the ambition to build something meaningful but never gets the tools, guidance, or opportunity to develop that ambition. As a skeleton athlete, I know what it feels like to enter spaces where you have to learn, adapt, and believe in yourself. I also know that talent […]
Why October Is the Perfect Time for Me to Rethink My Business
October gives me something I value as both an entrepreneur and a skeleton athlete: a chance to pause, look at the bigger picture, and decide what needs to change before I push forward. The fourth quarter can move quickly, especially when unfinished goals, financial decisions, relationships, and daily responsibilities start competing for attention. That is why I […]
Am I Using AI to Build My Business — Or Am I Letting It Build My Business for Me?
AI has become part of how many entrepreneurs work, including me. I can use it to organize ideas, research faster, improve communication, and save time. But I keep asking myself an important question: am I using AI as an entrepreneur, or am I slowly allowing AI to make the decisions that should still belong to me? As […]
How We Can Turn the Back-to-School Moment Into a Bigger Conversation About Opportunity
Back-to-school season always makes me think about more than backpacks, notebooks, and new shoes. It reminds me that every child deserves the chance to discover what they can become. For me, that means creating opportunities for children from underserved communities that reach far beyond the classroom.
Why Back-to-School Season Reminds Me That Opportunity Should Never Depend on Where a Child Is Born
Every back-to-school season brings a familiar feeling. I see children preparing for another year of learning, discovering new interests, and imagining what their futures could look like. But I also think about the children who have the same dreams and talent yet face far fewer opportunities. That is why I believe children from underserved communities deserve […]
Why Entrepreneurs Need to Stop Chasing Every New Trend
Every week, I see a new AI tool, business idea, social media trend, or strategy that promises to change everything. I understand the temptation. As an entrepreneur, you never want to feel like you are falling behind. But my journey as a skeleton athlete has taught me something important: progress comes from knowing where you are going, […]
How I Reset My Goals When Summer Ends and Business Gets Busy Again
During the summer, there is more time to breathe, reflect, and spend time with family. Then September arrives, schedules fill up, and the pace changes quickly. For me, that transition creates a valuable moment for resetting goals. I look at what I planned, what actually happened, and where I want to put my energy next. […]
How Advanced Workshops Can Unlock the Potential of Kids from Underserved Communities
Life can change when a child gets the chance to discover something they never believed was possible. I know that because I have lived it. My journey from humble beginnings to becoming an Olympic skeleton athlete and entrepreneur started with people who believed in my potential before I fully believed in myself. That is why I care […]
Why Every Child Deserves Opportunities Beyond Their Circumstances
Growing up, I learned that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. I had big dreams, yet I also faced challenges that could have easily convinced me to give up. Looking back, I know I would not be where I am today without people who believed in me and gave me a chance. Those experiences […]
