Listen in!
- It took some drive and field experience to realize what I really wanted to chase and hunt for in my life.
- When I was 18 years old and fresh out of high school, I became an integration aide at Sunnydale Elementary School in the West Island of Montreal with autistic children.
- I love adversity and challenge because it gives you the opportunity to overcome it, and become stronger from it.
- I worked with an autistic child and helped him to excel tremendously, but later passed on which left an emotional impact on me.
- I knew I helped him and his family, and that was a special moment of feeling a little bit of purpose, and it helped me have some purpose about what it is that I wanted to do.
- I got a sales job making $500- $800 a day, and after three months I opened my own company and to become the biggest pavement asset management company.
- I sold the company off and moved to Anguilla in the Caribbean, where I later started Asphalt Kingdom which has grown over the years to an eight-figure company.
- When I look back, at those two years working on the company before it picked, the thing that really pulled me through was surrounding myself by a circle of people that really believe and having mentorship through that process.
- If you're surrounded by people and systems that are draining your battery every single day, I strongly recommend that you silence those and move towards the direction of charge, guidance, and positivity.
- The most exciting part of my journey happened about four years when we lost our son for 17 minutes and then came back to life.
- In my moment of grief, I got the message that I needed to help as many people as I possibly could in my lifetime and that's what I do today.
- What we truly do at Asphalt Kingdom is we help people build their own business, in the asphalt maintenance industry, to allow them to work towards a future that allows them to be freer.
- Let's not be drawn back to average but be powerful and remember that we are here to impact people's lives positively.
