Tobias Gilbert Founder and CEO of IndigoWave Tech Solutions

I like to be called a spiritual entrepreneur. You will find that a lot of what I do is rooted in matters of the spirit. Naturally, it’s where everything starts. I have always been big on contributing to the positive impact in the spaces I have had the honor of being a part of. I understood the critical importance of safe spaces and having a supportive community at an early age. Being a part of a cause, whose mission is to see that those communities make the world a better place has been monumental in keeping me motivated in doing what I do. Entrepreneurship or politics seemed to be the most effective means of making that happen. I don’t think I have the heart for the red tape of politics, so entrepreneurship only seemed natural.

I meditate. I know this is a bit unconventional but, again, mental clarity is one of the basic principles that I founded the company on. I can’t possibly hope to authentically provide that to my clients without embodying it myself. I look at every business owner coming to me with their business like a parent coming to me with their child. Meditation is a perfect opportunity to sit in stillness and really clear my mind so that I have the energetic capacity to give whoever is on the other end of that discovery call the intention, connectedness, and simplicity that permeates throughout the business. It makes for a great first impression and has proven to make the potential client feel safe in discussing their baby with me. 

I have had to reevaluate this a few times over the years. Many entrepreneurs will say that success is measured in Return of Income, Key performance indicators, and profit. True success, for me, accomplishes ethereal good and the collective progression of the communities I and my company serve. It’s slow, rooted in actively giving gratitude daily, the love of what I do and being in service of others. The reason I say I have had to reevaluate this a few times is because there was a time where if there were months where capital was slow or if there weren’t people showing interest in our services that I would suddenly feel like I wasn’t accomplishing what I set out to do. This perspective made success fleeting and temporary. Shifting my mindset has allowed me to remain grounded that even when things may not be the best, I am still my ancestors’ wildest dreams.

There have been a lot of hard pills that I have had to swallow on this journey so picking one is difficult. Many self-reflective mirror moments that caused me to spiral into an abyss that had me questioning why I even set out to do any of this. I will say that being ok with being comfortable in discomfort has been the one that I have had to sit with the most. I have found that getting too comfortable with how things are in their current state is a breeding ground for complacency and in the tech industry this is a recipe for disaster. Being able to be ok with a constantly changing landscape and being able to navigate the space with a calm crown has been a challenge but I think I have been able to do so effectively. It has been challenging yet exciting because I have been given the opportunity to learn and relearn something new about myself on a constant basis.
