About the Founder

 

Here is a little bit about me and what inspired me to start FOCUS.

Growing up was like sailing through a storm without a compass. School felt like a constant battle, with bullies lurking around every corner. And home wasn't much better—my family faced a lot of challenges, and I saw things no kid should ever have to see.

To cope, I turned to the wrong crowd and made some bad choices. School became a blur of distractions, and college didn't offer the fresh start I'd hoped for. But even in the darkest moments, I refused to give up hope.

That flicker of determination led me to entrepreneurship, fueled by the dream of building something meaningful. I tried multiple businesses, but unfortunately, they weren't the successes I'd imagined. Despite the setbacks, I learned valuable lessons from each failure, and I'm determined to turn things around.

When COVID hit, it felt like the final blow. Depression threatened to consume me, until a diagnosis shed light on my struggles. ADHD—a label that explained so much and gave me a new sense of clarity.

But getting to that point wasn't easy. I struggled with my mental health for years, going to doctors and trying different medications that never seemed to help. It wasn't until I found out about ADHD that things started to make sense. The grief of not knowing sooner hit me hard—I couldn't help but wonder how different things might have been if it had been picked up when I was younger.

Looking back, I realize how much school blamed my behavior for my bad grades, when really, I was just wired differently and could have benefited from support. The system was wrong, and the way I was treated in school really impacted me when I left. Only now am I realizing that I was programmed and told the wrong things because there was no education about ADHD or awareness at the time.

But instead of dwelling on the past, I decided to channel that energy into something positive. I made it my mission to help others like me—to break down the stigma surrounding ADHD and show that anything is possible, no matter what challenges you face.

I want to inspire others to believe in themselves—to show that they can do whatever they set their minds to, regardless of their background, past, or struggles. The road ahead may be tough, but with determination and perseverance, there's no limit to what we can achieve.

This time around, I believe things will be different. I'm more determined than ever to make this business the biggest brand in the world. Failure has only fueled my determination, and I'm ready to prove that success is within reach, no matter how many setbacks we face.
