“Joining YPO has been the most rewarding and surprising experience. I expected to engage with amazing individuals, grow in my business challenges, and participate in once in a lifetime experiences. All these expectations have come true, but I have been most impressed by the elements I didn’t expect. A true sense of community that encourages and challenges me as an individual, along with an intentional focus towards growth in all areas of life: family, personal, and business. ”
