Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Some of my inspiration drives from my family and a lot of it comes from hearing complete strangers tell me that my coffee is the best I’ve ever had.

How do you stay motivated?

Motivation is tough, especially when there’s no one around to root you on. Entrepreneurs have good and bad days. I learned how to pick myself up and keep going when times were hard in my special ops training. The courses that I went through were specifically designed to teach leadership in tough situations.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest it into our company’s first coffee truck (essentially a food truck but for coffee) to run locally and daily. This investment would easily turn $25000 into a Conservative $200k yearly based off how much attention our current coffee cart has received.
