Growing up in the Bay Area, no one in his world shared the dream that he had. Thanks to determination, grit, and hard work, he\u2019s on his way to creating a future that he\u2019s proud of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up, Fale knew what it was like to go to bed hungry and without a blanket. He loved his parents and large Polynesian family, but they made the rules of life crystal clear: You went to school, then you got a job as a security guard or at the airport. Dreams were for other people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Except that Fale had a dream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fintuit%2Fvideos%2F1166707840563342%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever since he was a child, he wanted to do four things: to help the youth, help the elderly, help people experiencing homelessness, and help the community. It wasn\u2019t a clear-cut dream and there was no road map of how to get there. It was a sense of purpose that burned within him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7217 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg?resize=740,493 740w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale_Blog-.jpg?resize=720,480 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Meanwhile, he became good at basketball. Very good. Growing up, going to the basketball court was his safe place. It provided structure when nothing else did. It was where he could be himself. If he was having a bad day, shooting hoops would help get his mind straight. \u201cBasketball is literally like therapy to me,\u201d Fale says. \u201cIt was a place where I could go and work and build, and every day was an opportunity for myself to get better at it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hard times\u2014and a break<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fale\u2019s life took an unexpected turn. When Fale\u2019s family lost their home, they moved into low-income housing in a tough neighborhood. He put aside any thoughts of college and threw himself into work to help support his family. He took jobs as a security guard and washed cars. It was humbling work for someone known in the community for his basketball prowess. And although it felt good to make money, something inside him wanted more\u2014only now it was a different kind of desire. Fale had a passion to build a life filled with purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7206 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Fale coaching kids at the basketball court\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg 1133w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg?resize=768,510 768w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg?resize=1024,681 1024w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg?resize=740,492 740w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Fale-coaching-kids.jpg?resize=720,479 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Then Fale got a break that changed the trajectory of his life. He was offered a job as athletics director at the Boys and Girls Club he had attended as a youth. He became a basketball trainer\u2014with a difference. In addition to helping kids of all ages learn ball skills on the court, he helped them with life skills off the court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one of those remarkable turns of fate, the job also fulfilled the four goals he\u2019d had since childhood. Through it, he found himself helping not just the youth, but also the elderly, people experiencing homelessness, and the larger community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to training kids of all ages, Fale continues to expand his skills as a coach, supporting professional basketball players, including those from the National Basketball Association (NBA). One of his trainees recently was admitted to the University of Washington. Another signed a contract with the NBA\u2019s Golden State Warriors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Getting closer to his dreams and financial empowerment<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Fale, prosperity means having a positive impact on others&#8217; lives. But as he worked to increase that impact by teaching basketball skills to a wider circle of people, he found he lacked the financial skills he needed to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world of credit scores, saving money, and doing taxes were foreign to him. Growing up, no one had taught him these skills. Fale began learning from experts, and colleagues and through his use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditkarma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Credit Karma<\/a>. When he traveled to other cities to teach basketball clinics, he started logging his miles so he could write them off as a business expense. If he discussed business over a meal, he learned to keep the receipt. He tracked his credit score and paid his credit cards on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere were times where I would struggle and my credit score would dip, and then it was just like, \u2018Okay, well, how do I pick myself back up?\u2019\u201d he recalls. \u201cI&#8217;m still trying to learn everything as far as credit and the value of credit. But it&#8217;s been a growing process for sure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He pushed himself to continue learning. With greater financial literacy came greater empowerment. Instead of owing money after taxes, he got a refund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Continuing his journey to create a life filled with fulfillment<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, Fale has a head full of even bigger dreams. He wants to use his platform to have a greater impact beyond basketball\u2014through doing toy drives for less fortunate kids, and through building homes and supplying clean water to the needy in other countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His greatest dream of all? To have his own gym\u2014a place that can serve as a safe haven for others, just like the basketball court was his haven growing up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As he works toward this dream, he\u2019s facing a whole new set of learnings\u2014about everything from bathrooms to fire codes. And he\u2019s having to up his financial stability and literacy. In his moments of self-doubt, he tells himself to always remember \u201chis why\u201d\u2014which he sees in the faces of the kids he trains and in their parents who believe in him. And he holds a vision of his new gym. \u201cYou may have had a rough day,\u201d he says, \u201cbut we&#8217;re going to make sure that you leave with a smile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Supporting Fale to help him reach his dreams<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intuit.com\/blog\/intuitlife\/design-for-delight-building-deep-customer-empathy-to-solve-any-problem\/\" ><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deep customer empathy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is part of our company culture.
