Co Founder Intelligent Change, Luxy Hair, Five Minute Journal and Productivity Planner
“Crazy is not knowing what your true calling in life is. Doing things you don’t like & living life without a purpose.”
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE A MAVERICK?
“Someone who goes against the grain and really doesn’t follow the rules, kind of beats his own drumbeat and goes on his way. For me that’s what a maverick is really.”

HOW ARE CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION RELATED TO BEING A MAVERICK?
“Creativity to me is the ability to explore and draw outside of those thinner lines; drawing outside the lines. That’s what creativity is and what is part of being a maverick is being able to not follow the path everyone takes. And to really be able to explore.”
IS THERE ANYONE WHO’S A MAVERICK THAT INSPIRES YOU?
“Richard Branson the English businessman and investor.”
ADVICE FOR OTHER MAVERICKS
“Start doing and executing instead of feeling you are a maverick. Feeling is just a start, action will actually take you places in business.”
