Personal motto:
“Coffee is for closers.”
Staying ahead of industry disruptions:
I follow a lot of industry leaders across the country on platforms like Linkedln. I read and watch their content to keep up with what is happening in other parts of the country and try to find ways to bring that innovation to Louisiana.
Book that made an impression:
The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David Mann
One thing I’d change about my industry:
The cost of health insurance to businesses and their employees. It’s no secret that health care is one of the largest line items for many businesses. It’s easier said than done, but we are making some strides.
