About Yaron Avraham

When I was 16 years old, my therapist presented me with 5 clothespins to pick from. Each one had a word engraved on them: Love, Vulnerability, Freedom, Courage, and Authenticity. At the time I didn’t know why, but I chose the one with Freedom. As I got older, I had someone ask me, “What’s your dream in one word?” Instantly Freedom came to mind, and it made me realize I was on this Earth to create an impact, not just an income. When I meet someone new I always like to ask them the same question that was asked to me. To my surprise, no one ever mentioned their job as their dream, but rather love, creation, happiness, time, equality, but never their job. Society teaches us that the traditional way in life is to go to college, get a degree, and get a job, but what if that path isn’t the right route for everyone. I truly do believe that education is important, but it isn’t knowledge that is power, it is the application of knowledge that garners results. I didn’t get any of my jobs because I had a degree from a top tier school or because I had connections, but rather it was through the power of networking, persistence, and the best asset is the will not skill🧠. I always tell my employers during interviews that I may not have the skillsets, but I do have the mindset. You can teach me how to do the job, but you cannot teach me character, that comes straight from within. We all were once nobodies that somebody took a chance on. And I want to be that somebody for someone out there. I live by the motto “If it ain’t a hell yes, it’s a hell no.”I don’t believe in doing anything that does not align with my core values which are passion, creativity, authenticity, vulnerability, integrity, and most importantly Freedom. I am a firm believer that moneydoes not dictate how successful I am in life, but rather by how passionate and fulfilled I am in my personal and professional life doing what I love, surrounded by like-minded individuals.🧘‍ Outside of Work I Am: A Book Reader A Podcast Lover A Mental Health Advocate An Artist ‍ A Writer A Dreamer A Traveler A kind-hearted philanthropist
