Still recovering from dragon boat race weekend 😂🚣♂️
This past week, I had the chance to sponsor and paddle with the Opalites team at the Asian Festival in Huntersville — and it was such a great experience.
One thing I loved about it… nobody wins alone in dragon boat racing. Everyone has to move together, trust the process, and stay aligned.
That’s true in business, relationships, finances, and honestly life in general.
Huge shoutout to Opal Dental and for putting together such an awesome team and community experience.
Already ready for next year 👊

Great turnout already at the GBA Small Business Expo.
One of the best parts of events like this is getting to connect with other business owners who are building meaningful things in our community.
Had a chance to spend time with Keanu from alchemy_cowork and Angeliki from — both doing great work supporting entrepreneurs and helping people grow personally and professionally.
We’re here talking with business owners about more than just money.
Because building a successful business is important…
but building a life you actually enjoy matters too.
If you’re at the expo today, come say hey 👋☕
