Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

To help bring happiness to those struggling in little moments of their day-to-day lives. I'm currently on a journey trying to solve a daily problem every single person experiences. I've done my independent field studies collaborating with my professor and concluded through polls that 70% of people experience this everyday problem. This must be done to reverse the norm of this required everyday task being tedious to be refreshing and enjoyable.

How do you stay motivated?

I've worked a job to support future aspirations since I was 12. I was 12 years old on a soccer field blowing my whistle when I decided I wasn't going to settle for running up and down a field in the burning sun forever. My parents said if you want things to change or get better, you have to keep running to earn to sit down. Don't ever expect someone else to fill the pothole, you do it yourself. Ever since, I've been collecting all sorts of business ideas waiting for the one, and now here we are.

What would you do with the $25,000?

As a college student, I don't have 2 nickels to rub together after my tuition bill every semester and with my full-time serving job at Chili's, I save all the money I get for necessities and for the steep bill of manufacturing the first prototype of my product. I'm still saving money to be able to afford the 3D printing costs but $25,000 would be able to propel the business to hit the ground running and start selling the product this year! That $25,000 would change my life.
