Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business are the successful people who have a story to tell. A story of sacrifice, perseverance and resilience, all while staying true to having good intentions for everyone and everything they come into contact with. I am inspired by those who do not rely on external validation to build their legacy, those who represent substance rather than just optics, those who forge new ways of creating success by being true to themselves & their values, not what social media dictates

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by being grateful for how far I have come. I stay motivated by looking around at my loved ones, and wanting to do my absolute best to give them a life of peace and happiness. I stay motivated by remembering that all the rejection, bullying, abuse and grief that I have endured, was to bring me closer to my highest self, my true identity and understanding of life. As Carl Jung said: "I am not what happens to me, I am what I choose to become"

What would you do with the $25,000?

I love animals, and have helped some get the help they need, in their times of need, so I would like to donate some money to the local humane society. I would like to invest in hosting a series of events, so I can share my story with likeminded individuals, along with the stories of others, in hopes to inspire people, or even one person, to understand the power of our human spirit, so they can make radical changes in their life with unwavering self-belief
