Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Growing up in a single parent home after losing my father, I watched my mother work long hours to support our family. After high school, I went to college with the means to pay for it, but without financial knowledge, I mismanaged my funds and had to leave before graduating. That experience stayed with me and ultimately led me to create FinCredit, so young people can learn early and move through life with greater awareness and responsibility in how they manage money and credit.

How do you stay motivated?

My motivation is to provide tools that both the current and next generation can use to grow their knowledge in finance, technology, and self development. With the right foundation, individuals can reduce economic stress, make smarter financial decisions, and build families with the confidence of knowing they are creating a stable and secure future.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to support a crowdfunding campaign on chozn.org to provide FinCredit to 100 young adults who missed access to financial education through school, but are still at a stage in life where the right knowledge can change the direction of their future.
