I’ve said it many times, you have to have a genuine desire to shift archaic norms. It does not happen overnight and it doesn’t happen without focus, discipline and a genuine, authentic heart. To be able to want to change this industry for the better. And if you have good intentions and you have that authenticity about you, people will run toward you.
