Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Traveling across the United States, I witnessed the devastating reality of poverty and the growing homelessness crisis—families living without safety, stability, or hope. Those experiences became my driving force. I pursue success not just for wealth alone, but to build the power and resources needed to fight homelessness and create real, lasting change for people who have been forgotten.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering the faces of people I’ve seen struggling with poverty and homelessness across this country. Their pain, resilience, and fight to survive stay with me. When things get hard, I remind myself that my success could mean hope, shelter, and a second chance for someone who feels forgotten. That purpose is stronger than any obstacle.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to launch the foundation that will fight homelessness. Funds would support legal formation, outreach, partnerships with shelters, and a small pilot program providing emergency housing assistance, food, and basic supplies for struggling families. It would also help build an online platform to raise awareness, attract donors, and begin scaling long-term housing solutions.
