Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My business was inspired by the lack of options for men in fashion. Everything is often aimed at women, leaving men with few choices. Men's clothing tends to be more expensive, so I wanted to create something for the modern man that is both affordable and high-quality.

How do you stay motivated?

Since my injury, I've struggled to find my place, but creating The Male Collection has reignited my passion. This business feels like something truly incredible, restoring the drive I had been missing. It gives me a renewed sense of purpose and motivation. Seeing the positive impact it has and knowing I'm filling a gap in the market inspires me every day. The idea of providing stylish, affordable options for men keeps me focused and excited for the future.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I'd first pay off my car balance, easing financial stress. Then, I'd replace my almost nine-year-old Mac with a new computer, boosting productivity. Lastly, I'd invest the remainder in my business by purchasing inventory from various vendors. This strategic move supports business growth and increased revenue. It’s true that you have to spend money to make money, and this investment would position the business for greater success and opportunity.
