Akshay taught me how to view problems as opportunities, reframe anything to make it achievable - these frameworks and nuggets of wisdom is what made me an entrepreneur, an educator and a coach. If you're starting your journey or thinking about reinventing yourself or your project, this is the best starter kit you could have hoped for.
