Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Entrepreneurship runs deep in me—I’ve kept notebooks of dreams & ideas since I was a kid. My wife & kids ignited my fire, asking, “What would truly make you happy?” I said, “I will be a business owner, ready for the right idea.” They’re my rock & my why, reminding me I have what it takes. I paired my dreams with action, in 2022, that idea came to me: a product that transcends age, sex, & geography, which helps people worldwide!

How do you stay motivated?

I’ve been hungry for too long —now I'm hungry for change, for success, for my family’s future. I’m a check-to-check father of two with another on the way, fighting to break cycles and build something meaningful. My motivation comes from knowing I can inspire others to chase their dreams. Every sacrifice I make today is fuel for becoming the best husband, father, and entrepreneur I can be tomorrow. If I can achieve this, I know others will believe they can too.

What would you do with the $25,000?

May 2022, I founded my LLC, and by July, I had an idea that consumed my thoughts because it had given our son instant bathroom independence. Since then, every extra dollar and moment has gone into our patented product. From viral videos to endorsements, we’ve bootstrapped everything with limited resources, while juggling work and family. Launching in 2024 was a milestone, this grant would help us scale, bring relief, and fuel the dream we’ve poured our lives into.
