Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by entrepreneurs who create real opportunity for others. Leaders like Daymond John showed me that business isn’t just about profit — it’s about building platforms that help people grow. I’m also inspired by everyday small business owners who take risks to support their families and communities.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by setting clear goals and constantly building. Whether I’m organizing events, launching new platforms, or helping others succeed, progress fuels my drive. I also stay focused by remembering where I started and the responsibility I have to create a better future for my family and the people who believe in my vision.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the funds into scaling my event platforms and digital marketplaces to create more opportunities for athletes, small businesses, and independent workers. The goal is to expand into new cities, improve technology, and build programs that help people earn income, gain exposure, and grow their own ventures.
