My inspiration comes from every child that comes through the foster care system who needs every reason to want to keep living and believing that no matter their current situation they too can make It out. I feel for them because I know how I felt at the time I was there in those same shoes. I want those kids to know that their current situation doesn't define them because It's not their fault. If they can see someone become successful who has a story they can relate to It can change a village.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by understanding that this mission is bigger than me. I trust God to trust my current and future situations in business. Understanding where I come from I stay motivated by knowing that I have to set an example for those who are coming behind me. Anyone who comes from shelters group homes or the foster care system needs to understand that you are not alone because there are people out here like myself who will always stay motivated because you are our drive.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would drop my label and start the print on bottle process which will drop my cost for production and shipping. I will then be able to grow my water company giving the stores more room for profit, which in return will help me scale and sale my company to Coca-Cola or Pepsi
