Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from my faith and a deep commitment to serving my community. I believe entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful ways to create opportunity and impact lives. What began as cooking BBQ for family and friends has grown into a business and outreach that feeds hundreds each week, reminding me that a business can be both successful and a force for good.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by the vision of what’s possible. Entrepreneurship allows me to turn ideas into real opportunities that benefit others. Each challenge becomes a lesson, and each small win reminds me that persistence, faith, and hard work can build something meaningful for both business and community.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into expanding my BBQ business by increasing sauce production and improving our food truck operations so we can serve more people. The goal is to strengthen our ability to meet growing demand, reach new customers, and continue building a brand that started with a simple passion for great BBQ and has grown into a business with real potential.
