"I think I was always a very ambitious person. I always wanted a little bit more out of the world. So even when I was in school, I always wanted to add extra things."

"So for me with entrepreneurship, I’ll be honest with you, I wanted to be a pilot because I have a fear of heights. So every time I’m afraid of something, I like jumping into it so that I can get over that fear."

"So being an entrepreneur for me, I think it started with problem solving because even when you get into business, they tell you it’s all about solving a problem."

"It was just a startup, so there was no money, there was nothing, but I ended up enjoying it a lot. Then as I was working in that agricultural space, I saw a gap in the industry and a couple of issues in the soil preparation market."

"There’s a certain problem you need to solve. So I saw that problem and I felt that, know what, I’m going to do something about it. I want to change the way farming is done because it’s so unsustainable and it’s destroying the environment and people are not having access to food because of it."

"Whether or not I make it or I don’t make it, I don’t think anyone’s going to shoot me. So let me just go for it."
