Alex shares his personal journey of embracing hard work as a core value, stating, "The only actual thing that we can't control is the work we do now, the hard work, the work that we know, that energy, by the way, side note, your ability to work itself is improvable" 1. This mindset shift has led him to appreciate the present moment and strive for excellence in every task.
