Fifty-three years ago, my dad told me three words that have modeled my whole life: YOU GOT THIS!
I have worn many hats over the years – Wall Street executive, fashion industry investor, philanthropist, outdoorsman, and dad - and I’ve always had more ambition than brains. I dove into every new experience with the philosophy that I have nothing to lose since I am already under-qualified for it, and I’ve overcome many challenges with that thought in mind.
Life can go a lot of different directions when you’re faced with a tragedy, but regardless of what bumps in the road may come your way, I want you to know that you got this!
