Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by entrepreneurs who build businesses that create real impact. My journey is driven by the mission to develop sustainable products that replace harmful materials with eco-friendly alternatives. Seeing the environmental challenges around us motivates me to keep innovating and building solutions that help both communities and the planet.

How do you stay motivated?

My inspiration in business comes from the opportunity to create solutions that positively impact people and the planet. Seeing the environmental challenges in agriculture and packaging motivated me to build sustainable products like EcoPith. I’m inspired by entrepreneurs who combine innovation with responsibility, proving that businesses can grow while protecting the environment and creating real value for communities.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 to scale the production and distribution of EcoPith’s sustainable growing products. The funding would support inventory, product development, and expanding into more garden centers and nurseries across Canada. My goal is to replace harmful materials like peat and plastic with eco-friendly alternatives and make sustainable growing solutions accessible to more communities.
