Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from the resilience and work ethic I saw growing up. I watched people build, provide, and persevere even when resources were limited. That taught me entrepreneurship is about more than profit—it’s about creating opportunity, stability, and legacy for others. That perspective guides how I lead and build every business today.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on the bigger vision and remembering why I started. Entrepreneurship comes with challenges, but I’m driven to build something meaningful, create opportunities for others, and prove that discipline, resilience, and integrity lead to lasting success.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would reinvest the $25,000 into expanding GenLee LLC’s logistics capacity and operational infrastructure so we can scale responsibly and pursue larger opportunities. The goal is to strengthen our foundation, increase reliability for our partners, and drive sustainable growth that creates long-term impact.
