IAM2427 - Turning Challenges Into Triumph

Gresham Harkless discusses how business is about finding opportunities and doing things differently, even if it means going against the grain. 

 

He believes innovation in business doesn’t always mean creating entirely new technologies but can also involve approaching things in unique ways, especially in execution. 

 

Gresham shares the emotional toll of losing his dog and his grandmother to cancer. This experience has deeply impacted him and shaped how he thinks about his work.

 

Gresham is dedicated to honoring their memory by naming his business or initiatives "Blue Star" and plans to donate a portion of his earnings to cancer research and treatments for both humans and animals.

 

Likewise, Gresham shares a personal story of feeling this way but reminds himself (and others) to embrace authenticity. He emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and not conforming to what others expect or think you should be.
