Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Great question! My father was a known architect and my mother was a corporate banker. Both of them were/are my main source of inspiration. My other source was TV and film. Growing up, for some reason, most of the on-screen portrayals I was allowed to watch were doctors, lawyers, marketing, or advertising. Marketing and advertising seemed fascinating then and now.

How do you stay motivated?

People are my motivation. I built my agency and studio with the mission to give people opportunities and outlets that they may not ever have access to in a lifetime. Seeing others humbly relieved is one of the greatest feelings.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Three things actually. First, an equipment upgrade is seriously needed to properly compete with other agencies. Second will be to get a space for media shoots and production. I'm currently operating from home. Third would be to drive more awareness to help fund the charity Feeding South Florida that we're partnered with.
