What is inspiring you right now consistently to work on your endeavors?
Currently my friends have really motivated me to bring the camera out more & really lock in on getting videos and content produced.
How have you overcome struggles to be where you are now?
I feel like a lot of the struggles I had I got through because of God. I’ve done a lot of working and praying behind closed doors about my dream and my company & put a lot of trust in that. Currently it’s brought me a lot of good with my business and company.
Who were the most influential people in your life?
I feel like the most influential person in my life right now would be my pops. My dad has always been my number one motivator. He always made a way as I was growing up, taught me how to work hard to achieve the goals that I have. Lit the fire for me really to start my business.
As a result of the outbreak of COVID-19, some artists had considerable difficulties in 2021; varied laws established at the local and federal levels prevented a large number of events with large crowds, including concerts and festivals, from taking place. As a result, the number of chances for artists to demonstrate their abilities was drastically curtailed as a result of this decision, The emphasis of JB’s concentration is now on continuing to pursue his business profession in order to build his already strong foundation even further than it is already. He does not let the past struggles affect him and says he definitely learned. “I want my work to show you that you can do what you wanna do no matter what the circumstances are. I came from the bottom. I didn’t grow up with the most money and I always told myself I would make a way so I didn’t have to relive that for myself in the future. You can do anything you put your mind to it just takes patience and hard work.”
JB gives motivation and has his sights set on the prize. He realizes that in order to be successful, one must not only invest in oneself, but also in those who will invest in you in exchange for their efforts on his behalf. “A lot of the business problems start with money, coming from the bottom with such a big dream isn’t easy when you don’t have anything to start from. Just be patient and all the hard work will pay off, you’ll get what you need , and until you get it, use what you got now and make the best out of it.” In the audience, he is motivated at the thought of making a difference not just in his neighborhood, but also in the rest of the community.
