“This journey was very emotional for me, I had put a lot of energy and thought into it. When we parted ways, I just cried. It was like my baby that had suddenly grown up,” he explains in the show. “The lesson I took away is to keep doing things with passion. Even when the journeys end, the companies leave us or our company, we live there eight hours a day. It’s crucial to enjoy it and feel like I want to do it.”
