Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

PGF is created with the inspiration of amazing organization like The nature conservancy, Global alliance for the rights of nature, Smithsonian and many more conservational companies. I believe that conservation isn’t just about protecting land/ wildlife, it’s about cultivating a reciprocal relationship with nature. Like nature conservancy, we strive to restore vital habitat; we’re inspired by non gmo foods and the human right to eat well.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated through the impact and hope we give to our communities; with every mind stimulated with knowledge, every seed planted and seeing people excited to reconnect to nature! People are exercising more sustainable practices after they have encountered us and they actively seek to protect the environment. It’s truly the people, the volunteers, supporters and communities that keeps me motivated and knowing I’m offering an amazing service.

What would you do with the $25,000?
