Privileged enough  to have Family business in this.  I get easily bored with mundane stuff , here in International Business every shipment is new and comes with new challenges . My father to this day says I haven’t faced this before even after being in the industry for more than 30 years .  This gives me immense satisfaction that I will learn something new everyday in this industry, being so dynamic , it gives peak into everything that is going on around the globe you will see it effects in your business.
