New York City hits different. The second you step into the streets, you feel it—the energy, the movement, the ambition. This wasn’t just another business trip; it was a reminder of what it means to chase something bigger.

Everywhere I looked, there was something to take in. The towering buildings, the nonstop motion, the people grinding from sunrise to well past midnight. There’s no hand-holding here—just a city that rewards those who go after it. Walking through Manhattan, closing deals, and capturing the rawness of it all through my lens was a rush.

But it wasn’t just about business. It was the small moments, too. The first sip of coffee before the city wakes up. The sound of footsteps on pavement, each one with a purpose. The way the skyline lights up at night, almost daring you to dream bigger. NYC doesn’t slow down for anyone—you either step up or step aside.

This trip was more than meetings and projects. It was fuel. A reminder that if you want something, you go all in. And that’s exactly what I plan to keep doing.
