    I recently had the incredible opportunity to be a guest on The Shift Spotlight Podcast with Winter Baserva Paskins! We dove deep into some amazing topics like building wealth, navigating leadership, and how my journey from medicine to finance is shaping my dream of owning an NBA team one day. 🏀

    As President and CEO of ⚡ Lightspeed Investing, I shared how we’re empowering high-net-worth individuals (and those aspiring to get there) through our unique approach to the futures and commodities markets. Whether it’s teaching others to take control of their financial destiny or managing capital with surgical precision (yes, my medical background shines through here!), our mission remains the same: helping people level up their wealth and impact.

    💡 Fun Fact: Did you know I moved from Hong Kong to Kansas at age nine? I’m proud to say I’m Jayhawk raised and channel a championship mindset from basketball into everything I do.

    We also touched on my philosophies around leadership, team building, and embracing both wins and losses as learning opportunities. Spoiler alert: I believe the "L" doesn’t stand for loss—it stands for lessons. 💪
