Family tragedy: Discovering father's terminal illness
The business grew rapidly and I received a call from my mom, who sounded upset. She told me we needed to have a family discussion and my heart sank, thinking it was about her or my dad's health. I traveled for seven hours and anxiously awaited the news. My father revealed that he had stage four lung cancer and not much time left. He calmly laid out the treatment plans, but it was difficult to accept. Despite the devastating news, I felt motivated to pursue entrepreneurship. My father passed away after a year, at the age of 51, and it was an incredibly difficult time. However, his departure changed my perspective on life.
