- Young entrepreneurs often find themselves wondering how to find the “perfect idea” or rather if the perfect idea will just come to them randomly. From your experience, how did you come up with your idea? What inspired you? Was it a long process or just a simple eureka idea in the moment?
- Parker and my experience with writing things down and wanting to create a better solution
- At one point in your life, you had come up with this idea. How then, did you decide when it was time to move forward with this idea and take action?
- You can never start too early. You have the rest of your life to make money and save up, now is the best time to focus all your effort into what you most believe in.

- It's been proven that entrepreneurs have certain personality traits that make them more successful compared to their counterparts. With that said, what are some key traits of an entrepreneur that is worth mentioning?

- What is your definition of success?
- Making an impact on the world with a software that can improve anyone/everyone's life.
