We all process grief in different ways, we all do different things to feel "at peace" when losing a loved one. As a surviving sibling, I wanted to do everything in my power to bring justice to my brother's death. I had been there from the very beginning and it seemed like I was the only one that cared about it. 

In this episode I'm talking about how miscommunication with my father led to me being frustrated with him, how I started to move on with my life and my career, the start of my entrepreneurship journey, the birth of MaYapinion, feeling frustrated for the lack of progress the detective had made on my brother's case, hiring a Private Investigator and letting him go and how I found a lead before the PI did.

In this episode I'm covering:

  • Miscommunication with my father [00:01:03]
  • Moving on with my life and career [00:11:30]
  • Start of entrepreneurship and the birth of MaYapinion [00:13:15]
