I'm just growing. Growing in faith and trying to better myself as a Christian and as a man.

I experienced different things growing up as a child that helped me. That helped mold me into the man that I am now, to the athlete that I am now.

I always was a guy that wanted to be liked. That wanted to be like everyone else, not really understanding that the platform that I had was different than others. Not really understanding that God expects more from his leaders that he does from people who are not really committed to Him.

Sometimes, you get kind of redundant by learning the same offense over and over again.

It is very important that a leader in the hotel industry be both creative, I think, and compassionate.

The situation of any leader in the Middle East is not easy.

It is open for anyone to have freedom of speech, and I guess we can all play a role in trying to make a difference in the world. Particularly if your leader is not helping in that area.

In terms of leadership, you've got to allow for people to be amazing and to contribute in a way that's meaningful. You can't hold on so tight that people don't get a chance to do what they do best.
