IF I WERE GOVERNOR: My top priority would be enhancing Florida's infrastructure. I would focus on expanding transportation networks and improving utilities, ensuring they are sustainable and resilient against climate impacts.

MOTIVATIONAL MANTRA: Here’s one that I’ve used for a while but always relevant from Wayne Gretzky that emphasizes strategic foresight: ‘Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.’ It illustrates the importance of anticipating future trends and positioning oneself accordingly.

LISTENING: My favorite podcasts are Wizards of Amazon Podcast, by Carlos Alvarez (A fellow Floridian!); The Smartest Amazon Seller with Scott Needham; and Bright Ideas eCommerce Business Podcast with Trent Dyrsmid.
