Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration for starting Drop Cutz Barbershop LLC came from my passion for barbering and my desire to build something of my own. I wanted to create a place where people can come not only to get a fresh haircut but also to leave feeling more confident and respected. Barbering allows me to combine creativity, skill, and entrepreneurship while making a positive impact in my community.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started. Building Drop Cutz Barbershop LLC is bigger than just cutting hair—it's about creating a brand, serving my community, and building something that can grow over time. Seeing my progress and the support from my clients keeps me pushing forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would strategically invest in expanding Drop Cutz Barbershop LLC and scaling my G-5 Grooming brand. The funding would help me improve the shop experience, increase product production, and strengthen marketing to reach a larger audience. My focus would be turning that investment into long-term business growth and community impact.
