Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

As an immigrant and Latino, my inspiration in business comes from the desire to tell a different story—stories from our community that are often overlooked in the entertainment world. I aim to change that by showcasing our unique perspectives. As a Christian, Jesus is one of my biggest inspirations. He was a storyteller whose stories continue to shape and impact today's world. His ability to connect people through stories motivates me to do the same in my work.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated because I love what I do—it's my passion. I find purpose in providing opportunities to others, helping businesses, non-profits, and government entities communicate effectively through the power of video and storytelling. Seeing the impact of my work, whether it’s helping a business grow or supporting a meaningful cause, drives me to keep going. The ability to create something that inspires, educates, and connects people keeps me focused and energized.

What would you do with the $25,000?

When I win the $25,000, I would invest it into my business by purchasing new computers and filming equipment, with a focus on computers that can better support creating AI content, which would also allow me to teach others about it. My business is an extension of who I am, and these upgrades will enhance my ability to serve my clients. Additionally, I would use a portion of the funds for a quick vacation. After a challenging 2024, I need some time to recharge and prepare for new opportunities.
