Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is Pace Morby. His approach to creative finance showed me that you don’t have to wait for perfect circumstances to start building something meaningful. His teachings encouraged me to pursue entrepreneurship and focus on creating businesses and community projects that provide opportunity and make a lasting impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on the bigger purpose behind what I’m building. Every challenge reminds me that meaningful change takes persistence. My goal is to create businesses and community spaces that uplift people and inspire others to pursue their own dreams. Knowing that my work can create opportunities for others keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning $25,000 would help me begin launching my nonprofit focused on creating supportive community resources. One of the greatest needs in my area is the lack of a shelter for individuals and families facing hardship. These funds would help lay the foundation for outreach, planning, and early development of programs that provide dignity, support, and opportunity for those who need it most.
