“Speak to people about the problems they are having, and then see if the problem is applicable to a wider audience.”

What is your advice for overcoming challenges and failure?

What is the biggest lesson you learned and what can aspiring entrepreneurs take from it?

“Failure comes from quitting. Obviously there are often reasons which compel you to stop, but too often, entrepreneurs quit too early. If you keep going and fix the strategy if required, pivot the business if required, raise more funds if required, then you'll have a chance at success. If you quit, the chance is gone.”
