What is one thing you would tell a younger version of yourself?
If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: Success is a compounding resource. At first, progress feels slow, but if you persistently and intelligently put in the work — while treating others with kindness — your efforts will multiply over time. My younger self might roll his eyes at the cliché, but the truth is, there are no shortcuts. The formula is simple: Keep your head down, work hard and be kind. Do this for a long, long time.
