My inspiration has been my mother. This was just a family spice with no name. She would make it here and there and sell to co workers and friends. Once she retired she stopped. I surprised her with the paperwork for 81 South Seasoning LLC. She knew exactly what it was. And loves it. Seeing my mom and family happy and excited about how big our spice is getting is what I love the most.
How do you stay motivated?Seeing how far my product is reaching from my hometown of Syracuse NY. To California, Oregon, Oklahoma to name a few. I've reached as far as the Philippines. Each new place brings more excitement. The constant compliments. Everyone loves 81 South Seasoning. 81 South means the way home to family, gatherings and good food for our family. It should be everywhere.
What would you do with the $25,000?Continue to build my brand as the go to name in the spice industry. Promotion and advertising. Exposure.
