What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreEntrepreneurs like Daymond John, Miya Bailey, Killer Mike, and Steven Bartlett inspire me — each built empires rooted in authentic passion. But mostly, I'm inspired by ideas. Capitalism, as we know it, is cannibalistic and unsustainable. The next wave will be institutions that feed back to their communities. I'm most inspired by innovative, non-traditional business models that give back to society — not just profit from it.
How do you stay motivated?I remain motivated out of a sense of duty. A duty to my sons to provide, a sense of duty to my employees and partners to deliver as they have trusted my leadership, and a duty to my community at large as I fully believe in the endeavors that I get behind.
What would you do with the $25,000?I am currently raising funds to launch a venture that will completely disrupt media and news distribution. The $25,000 from this competition would be a great addition to ensure the success of that launch.
