Who is your culinary inspiration?So many but Myron Mixon, Heath Riles
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly? First thing I’m doing is paying off some bills because financial freedom is the foundation for everything else. After that, I’m giving back to my local community through charities close to home. I’ve always believed you take care of your house first, then you lift others up. When your neighborhood thrives, everybody wins. That’s not just something I say, that’s genuinely how I move through life and why community means everything to me.
