Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Steve Jobs. He was relentless, built products people didn’t know they needed, and refused to settle for anything less than his vision. He didn’t just run a company — he changed how the world thinks, communicates, and creates. And through it all, people didn’t just respect him, they loved him. That’s the standard. Build something so good it moves people, and never compromise on the vision to get there.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by chasing visions that feel just out of reach. The gap between where I am and where I know I can be is what gets me up every day. Whether it’s on the field or building a company, I’m never satisfied — not out of frustration, but because I can always see the next level. That hunger is the fuel.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What would you do with the $25,000?

The $25,000 would go directly into scaling Buo’s user acquisition. Paid social targeting Gen Z and millennial women, influencer partnerships in the fitness and wellness space, and content that actually converts. Buo is already built — this money accelerates getting it in front of the right people at the right time. Growth is the only thing standing between where we are and where this is going.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
