Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My faith is my foundation—it carried me through losing a 13-year career in minutes and led me to rebuild with purpose. I’m inspired by people who rise in hard seasons instead of retreating. My children and grandsons are my why—they remind me daily what resilience, courage, and trust in God’s plan look like. I’m also inspired by everyday people who step outside their comfort zone and build something meaningful with integrity.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by staying anchored in faith and purpose. When everything changed overnight, I had a choice—to fear it or trust that God was redirecting me, not setting me back. I chose faith, and that perspective changed everything. This isn’t just about income—it’s about helping others create options, stability, and peace. I focus on consistency, service, and trusting the process, knowing there’s a bigger purpose behind what I’m building.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to expand what I’m building so I can reach and support more people navigating unexpected life changes. I want to create simple, integrity-led systems that help others rebuild with faith, purpose, and ownership. I would also give back to families walking through difficult seasons, because I believe we’re called not just to build for ourselves, but to lift others along the way.
