How did you, and why did you become an expert in connecting? I was always a dreamer. I grew up in a house where my father, my father is a pilot and he always, his dream was to become a commercial pilot with the biggest airlines. And through my childhood, the theme in my family was let's help our dad to be a better pilot so he could get to the biggest airline. We really cherished how important it is to fulfill your dreams. I had a lot of dreams. I wanted to be in the circus I wanted to be in NASA, and then I realized that I don't know anyone in the circus and I don't know anyone in NASA. So my big dreams got blocked when I realized I don't know how to, how the hell am I going to do it? And I realized that the gap between me and achieving my dream would be the people I have to know. I always wanted to work in the world and I realized that I don't know anyone in the world. Fast forward today, working in 28 countries. So that was the frustration. I wanted to live a fulfilled life and I didn't know how to meet the people. I want. But then again, I realized that meeting people or knowing people is more than just achieving my goals. It's this shared knowledge, it's adventures, it's learning, it's, you know, opened my mind and my horizons. So that's what brought me to learning more and eventually becoming the one who knows how to do it.
