After several attempts at corporate jobs and experiments on several business ideas searching for the sweet spot.the “Eureka!” moment finally struck! It was like finding the last piece of the puzzle, realizing that my oddball mix of talents and skills was less of a quirk and more of a winning hand.

The shoe didn’t fit – and I don’t mean Cinderella’s glass slipper. It was as if I was trying to samba in shoes two sizes too small. Ouch.

I was definitely a square peg trying to fit in a round hole.

I quickly realized that trying to fit in was not going to work for me forever. That became crystal clear for me when I started to get very bored with my work. I felt like a robot – or even worse, a clone… in a rat race. I wanted more.

You see, while the 9-to-5 clock kept ticking, I was also orchestrating a full-fledged Christian ministry behind the scenes. I was leading a dynamic team of 22 individuals, my weekends resembled blockbuster shows – commanding crowds of up to 1000 attendees at my events, orchestrating life-changing retreats, and creating impacts that had ripples reaching farther than I could imagine.

Back then, I hadn’t yet discovered that I could take my God-given talents, my blazing passion, and my honed expertise and fuse them into a captivating blend. It’s like having all the ingredients for a gourmet feast, but not knowing how to whip up a masterpiece. I was like a puzzle missing a few pieces, not quite seeing how to make it all fit. Yet, behind that 9-to-5 facade, I was slowly stirring the pot for something even bigger.
