Why do I keep building things?
I love building things. And part of why I love doing this is that I want to change the future. My future! You can’t change your future, or anything, with overnight success.

Why online marketing?
I shared with you that I’m learning online marketing. But didn’t say why other than it’s something I find exciting. From all the subjects out there, why did I started with online marketing?
