๐Ÿ“– Personal Story
How I developed a critical mindset to discover what really works for business growth:

I truly recognized the value of data-driven decision-making after facing the fate of many teens: acne.

Feeling worthless, as if fixing my “skin issue” was necessary to move on with life, I tried dozens of pseudo-scientific remedies.

Juices, treatments, pills, apple cider vinegar, you name it, often based on intuition or personal experiences rather than real research.

Years of trying, spending money, investing timeโ€”all fruitless.

Desperate, at 15, I turned to spending hours looking through scientific literature on PubMed, seeking a “cure.”

Eventually, I found a controversial drug supported by multiple studies. I begged my doctor to prescribe it.

Within weeks, the acne disappeared. It changed my life.

Today, I’m fascinated by what science and data can do for our decision-making.

Not just for skin conditions, but also for being a better leader for happier and more productive employees.
