This is a message to the 3 men that have always supported me

Father’s Day is usually about dads, but this year I’d like to show my appreciation towards the men that have supported me form the start of my business journey

These men have been there for me a long time, but now that I’m putting in more effort and really pushing myself, I want to make sure they get the recognition they deserve.

So, today I want to thank three men who have been key to my journey.

My dad.

He’s more than just my dad he’s been my mentor and the biggest influence behind why I started this whole entrepreneurial journey, even before he knew it was happening. Watching how he works hard every day, deals with challenges without giving up, and stays true to his values has shaped how I approach everything in life and business. Without his example, I’m not sure I would have had the courage to begin or the discipline to keep going.

My grandad.

He’s in his sixties and still uses a flip phone, while the world around us rushes forward with technology changing faster than ever. But what really sticks with me is how seriously he takes the things I share with him. Whenever I show him a newsletter, a post, or a video, he doesn’t just skim through — he reads every line carefully. He asks questions to make sure he understands and gives his honest thoughts, even if some things are new or complicated for him. That patience and genuine interest have helped me see my work through a different lens and grow in ways I didn’t expect.

My uncle.

He’s someone I can always count on as a second pair of eyes. He reads every newsletter I send, offers support, and gives ideas whenever I need them. Whether it’s reviewing a project or just listening to my ideas, he’s been a steady presence pushing me forward. Knowing he’s there to help has made a real difference.

These three men have all played important roles in my life and my journey. Of course, there are many others who’ve supported me, but today I want to shine the spotlight on them.

So, who are the men in your life that have supported you along the way? I’d love to hear about them.
