Elizabeth: Do you know now what you wish you knew ten years ago?
Tony Okamoto: If I knew ten years ago that this would be my life. I wish I knew then, when I was trying to figure out what would make me money that would make me happy. I sometimes feel like it’s easy to let go of our dreams and our passions in order to be comfortable and not worry about your rent or where your food comes from. At the time, I thought I would either have to work at a non-profit and not get paid well to live my passion, or I would have to go to a job I didn’t like to earn money that wasn’t my passion. And now I know that I can use business as a source of good in the world and give back on a daily basis something that also sets my heart on fire.
Elizabeth: Yes, how inspiring. I think it’s dreamy. I think what everyone really shoots for, is taking their passion and making it something they can do every day and feel like they’re making a difference in the world while growing their business and helping people. It’s really dreamy.
