Challenges Overcame
Some challenges Salvatore has faced as an entrepreneur is envy at the beginning and opportunism later. People around him being envious and negative is definitely hard to deal with, and learning how to deal with this can be even harder, especially when he was younger.

Another way he fights off stressful days is traveling, taking time off to clear out your mind is very much needed when things get stressful. Though he still researches whenever he is traveling.
