I started my business, Integrity Link, in January as an AI consultant. Initially, I was intrigued about the potential opportunity, but as I dove into the industry, especially the tech industry, I realized there's a huge need for educating the older population on how to prepare for this. I really had to take a step back and rethink what I'm doing, because I need to help people not get swallowed up by scams. Unfortunatley, there are those who are using it to take advantage of others. I lead with integrity, that's why I named my company Integrity Link, and it's kind of forging its own way in what I want to do. My main focus right now is really connecting with my local community, warming people up because when I say AI, it scares them. But it's really important to me that small business does not fall behind, so I'm reaching out and networking to local small businesses, introducing myself and getting to know what some of their needs are, and then I offer them some of the solutions that I have. It's really about building that connection and making sure that they understand I want to help them, and it's a long-term relationship. My dad had his own business, my brothers have their own business, and there's always just been an entrepreneurial spirit in me, so it's just what's always kind of nagged at me to start something. I've started at so many businesses already, but it's just in me.
