Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What inspired you to write Rising in America?

I wanted to show that the American Dream is still alive—but it takes hard work, faith, and resilience. My journey from an immigrant with a strong accent and no safety net to a successful entrepreneur is proof that you don’t need perfect conditions—you need persistence and purpose.

2. Q: Who is this book really for?

Rising in America is for anyone who feels stuck, underestimated, or uncertain about their future. Whether you’re an immigrant, a first-time entrepreneur, or someone trying to overcome setbacks, this book is for you.

3. Q: What was the hardest part of your journey?

Letting go of fear—especially the fear of failing in a country where I had to start over completely. Every challenge tested me: language, finances, rejection. But each one also shaped the man I’ve become.

4. Q: What’s one piece of advice you'd give someone starting over in America today?

Build relationships and outwork everyone. Skills matter, but consistency and trust open more doors than talent alone ever will.

5. Q: What’s next for you after Rising in America?

I'm passionate about mentoring others, especially immigrants and young professionals chasing big dreams. I plan to launch a podcast and live events that go deeper into the lessons from the book—and help more people rise.
