I was inspired to start my business from a late night phone call with my uncle, a NASA engineer who told me about a NASA invented adhesive based on the feet of geckos. I wanted to use it to mount my tv on the wall but I said hey what about a phone? And the Flipstik was born.
How do you stay motivated?I listen to entrepreneurialmotivational speakers like Damon, John, Les Brown, and Tony Robbins. I lean on my family and friends. I reflect on how far I’ve come, from college dropout making $10 a hour professional speaker making $10,000 a job. I am blessed beyond imagination
What would you do with the $25,000?I want to tour the country hosting free events, teaching people how to use storytelling to scale and grow their businesses. I used story telling to get on Shark Tank, into Target and Best Buy, and gain support from millions of customers.
