Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My father, Guillermo Gonzalez, a 30+ year carpenter, inspires me with his dedication and craft. I’m driven to make an impact in the field and for my family, creating lasting value through hard work and integrity. My goal is to unite the team, customers, and community as one family, fostering trust and connection in everything we do.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my goals and the example set by my father, Guillermo Gonzalez, a 30+ year carpenter who taught me the value of hard work. I’m driven by the desire to make an impact in my field and provide for my family. Seeing progress, building connections with my team and community, and knowing I’m contributing to something bigger than myself keeps me inspired every day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would launch 45 Degree Construction by investing in essential tools, equipment, and marketing to establish a strong foundation. The funds would help secure licenses, insurance, and initial operating costs, allowing me to focus on delivering quality craftsmanship. This investment would kickstart my vision of building a trusted company that unites the team, customers, and community as one family.
