Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Fawn Weaver, CEO of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is currently a great inspiration for me. I am in awe of her ability to build a unicorn in such a short period of time. I would love to sit with her and learn more about her experience and how she did it. She embodies the tenacity and optimism required to make what others think is impossible possible. It is affirming for me to see her example and corresponding success.

How do you stay motivated?

I am motivated by a strong internal desire to have the world experience the vision I see for my businesses. The two businesses I co-own with like minded servant leaders are Organic Urban Revitalization Solutions (OURS) and Fortis Global (Fortis). OURS is a purpose-driven, independent cannabis & hemp enterprise focused on IMPACT through fostering community wellness and economic equity. Fortis is an exclusive travel concierge firm focused on IMPACT by disrupting the luxury travel industry.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The $25,000 would be received with immense gratitude. I'm currently actively raising capital for both Fortis & OURS. The funds would be used to assist with the consulting costs for those raises as well as upgrades to my home office to allow me to work more efficiently.
