I'll share my own why. Years ago, I thought my purpose was to build financial security for my family. While that's important, it wasn't the full story. It hit me when my son with Down syndrome was born. My why shifted to creating a future where he'd had everything he needed to thrive no matter what. That became my North Star and it changed how I approach my business. Every call I make, every deal I close, it's all connected to that bigger vision. So today,

When you know your why, you're not just working, you're building something meaningful. And hey,
