Thank you for joining us on Celebrating Black Excellence. Now, you call yourself the serial entrepreneur. Can you please elaborate on that? What is a serial entrepreneur?
A serial entrepreneur is someone who has delved into more than one type of business of ventures. So, it doesn’t have to necessarily have to be in the same industry; it can be across different industries. It’s someone who is known for starting up different businesses, maybe even selling businesses, acquiring businesses, but you own more than one type of business. So, I actually started while I was at Georgia State doing graphic design, and upon graduating my senior year, I launched a digital branding marketing agency called 4 th Park . We’ve been in business for 12 years. January 24th is when I got the actual paperwork from the Secretary of State. The LLC was approved and filed. So, we’ve been in operation legally since January 24th, 2012. So, celebrating 12 years. That was my first business, and I’ve been given been growing that. We have a team of about 12 of us now.
