Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration in business is the idea of building what does not yet exist. I’m inspired by people who create boldly, solve real problems, and keep going when resources are thin and doubt is loud. As a father, I’m also driven by legacy. I want to build technology and businesses that outlive fear, create opportunity, and prove that vision, discipline, and grit can turn imagination into impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by purpose, not mood. I’m building legacy, freedom, and real impact for my son, my work, and the people my ideas can help. Setbacks don’t stop me; they refine me. When motivation fades, discipline takes over. I keep going because the vision is bigger than discomfort, doubt, or delay.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use the $25,000 to accelerate Feral Labs: product development, prototyping, software infrastructure, branding, and launch readiness. It would help turn high-value ideas into real tools people can use, while creating a stronger foundation for growth, revenue, and long-term impact. It wouldn’t be spent—it would be deployed.
