You’ve mentioned flunking first grade. Looking back, how did that failure shape your confidence and direction in life?

It crushed my confidence for a long time. People made fun of me for being the kid who flunked first grade. I had dysgraphia and dyslexia but nobody knew what that was back then. People just thought I was dumb. So I overcompensated with sports and personality, and that drive to prove myself carried into business later.
