Lessons on Resilience and Reinvention in Entrepreneurship

Share this post:

 

  • The entrepreneurial path isn’t linear—it’s a series of reinventions. I went from waiting
    tables to building one of the DMV’s most respected title companies.
  • Resilience is a muscle built through adversity: the 2008 crash nearly crushed us, but it
    taught me how to pivot, innovate, and future-proof the business.
  • Relationships are the currency of growth. From a loyal restaurant customer who gave me
    my break, to mentors who opened doors, to friends who fueled my early
    ventures—community has always been key.
  • Innovation isn’t just about tech—it’s about mindset. We digitized early, moved to the
    cloud before it was trendy, and thrived during COVID-19 because we were already built
    to adapt.
  • Success for me is now about impact—mentoring others, giving back, and helping the
    next generation navigate entrepreneurship.
