In this engaging interview on ⁠ ⁠The DMV Business Show⁠ ⁠, host ⁠ ⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠ talks with ⁠David Stocks, Jr.⁠ , President and CEO of ⁠Stocks General Contractors⁠ , a company out of Virginia that specializes in underground utility construction, water lines, sewer, and storm drains, as well as electrical and communications work. Born and raised in the DMV area, David comes from a family with a 3rd-generation construction background. His father, David Sr., worked for various companies and also had his own company.David's childhood was spent playing on construction sites, observing his father's work, and helping out with small projects. Despite initially not wanting to follow in his father's footsteps, David began to develop an entrepreneurial spirit, starting his own lawn mowing business and eventually running his own company. He credits his parents, who were both entrepreneurs, for instilling in him a strong work ethic.David's career path is marked by an unconventional transition from construction to military service. He served in the US Army for 4 years, working in military intelligence and as a ground station operator, traveling between different bases in the continental US. After his military service, David considered pursuing IT or government contracting but ultimately decided to help his father's construction company grow, despite having a different business approach.David worked with his father's company for a while but their styles clashed, and he eventually decided to pursue his own construction career. It took him a year or two to figure out what he wanted to do, during which time he worked at an electrical contractor and realized that wasn't his passion. Eventually, he landed a job in underground utilities, working on vac trucks and identifying underground utilities. He worked for a company for a while and then left to start his own business, founding Stocks General Contractors.Remember that leadership is not just about the title or the role but about the values and principles one embodies. David Stocks Jr.'s journey serves as a beacon of inspiration, encouraging others to pursue their passions, take calculated risks, and strive for greatness. His entrepreneurial spirit and unconventional career path have led him to success in the construction industry.

189 - The Evolution of a Food Entrepreneur with Jesse Konig of Jesse & Ben's + Swizzler 1:01:31

Join us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we share the journey of Jesse Konig , Co-Founder and CEO of Jesse and Ben's and Swizzler . We delve into Jesse's background, his journey from food truck to brick-and-mortar restaurant to consumer packaged goods, and the challenges he faced along the way. Jesse met his co-founder Ben while studying at Wake Forest University. Initially, they studied business with a focus on finance but later changed their major to English and entrepreneurship. During their college days, they launched a food truck business on campus, which laid the foundation for their future ventures. After graduating, they launched a food truck in the DMV area, which eventually evolved into Swizzler and Jesse and Ben's. The idea for a food truck, Swizzler Gourmet Hot Dogs, was born out of a desire to fill a gap in the college food scene. They started operating in DC and eventually moved to farmer's markets, eventually leaving hot dogs behind and focusing on burgers. Jesse and Ben chose DC as the location for their business due to its strong alumni network, good infrastructure, and the opportunity to be the best food truck in the city. After years of success as a food truck, Jesse and Ben decided to pivot to a brick-and-mortar restaurant. They signed a lease in 2019 and began building out the space in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Instead of hiring professionals for the entire construction process, they decided to take a hands-on approach, doing much of the work themselves, including demolition and installation of new features. They hired professionals for the more complex tasks, such as custom cabinetry and electrical work. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Jesse and Ben were able to save money by doing much of the work themselves and were able to open their restaurant in May 2020. The success of their brick-and-mortar restaurant was a testament to their hard work and determination. Today, Swizzler has a location in Washington, D.C., serving smash burgers and crispy chicken sandwiches. Jesse and Ben's is a frozen french fry brand that makes Belgian-style restaurant-quality fries at home, available in local grocery stores and nationally at Sprouts Farmers Market. By sharing his entrepreneurial journey, Jesse provides valuable insights and lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners. His perseverance, creativity, and willingness to adapt have led to the success of his businesses, and his story serves as a reminder that with hard work and determination, anyone can turn their entrepreneurial dreams into a reality.

Join us on ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we feature Jay Nwachu , President and CEO of Innovation Works . He shares his inspiring journey and the mission of his organization. Innovation Works is a nonprofit organization based in Baltimore City, dedicated to closing the racial wealth gap by supporting social entrepreneurs and providing impact investing. Innovation Works was founded with the goal of testing the model in Baltimore City, identifying entrepreneurs, and partnering with mentors. The organization collaborated with the Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Santa Clara University to adapt their model for an urban market in the United States. This led to the launch of Ignite Capital, an impact investing arm that provides capital to social enterprises. Ignite Capital's first fund was a local fund seeded by the Jesuits and later attracted institutional philanthropy. Despite launching during the COVID-19 pandemic, the fund successfully raised $4 million. One of the organization's first investors is now a board member, demonstrating the organization's impact on the local community. Jay Nwachu migrated to the United States in the 9th grade and has been living in Baltimore for over 25 years. He grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, with a loving family and community that relied on each other for support. After arriving in the US, he experienced a significant culture shock, particularly with the cold weather and Halloween celebrations. He found solace in the diversity of his school, Laurel High School, which had a large population of immigrant families, allowing him to connect with others who shared similar experiences. Jay attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), where he initially studied computer engineering but later changed his major to psychology. He navigated his undergraduate and graduate studies, working in a research lab and as a corporate recruiter while pursuing his degrees. He landed a job as a corporate recruiter and worked in this role for over a decade, also pursuing a master's degree in industrial psychology. Jay transitioned from corporate recruiting to innovation and entrepreneurship, citing his desire for a values-aligned corporate role. He joined a nonprofit that recruited and trained mission-minded individuals and later became an innovation strategist, helping organizations develop innovative products and services. The key takeaways from Jay Nwachu's story are: * The importance of finding one's own path and being open to change and new experiences * The value of adapting to new environments and finding opportunities that align with one's values and passions * The impact that innovation and entrepreneurship can have on closing the racial wealth gap and supporting social entrepreneurs Jay's story is an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance, adaptability, and values-driven leadership.

Join us on ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we feature Brian Valdivia , CEO of Beltway Lending , to share his personal and professional journey in the real estate industry. As a full-time real estate investor, Brian has accumulated over 200 rentals in under four years, demonstrating his expertise and success in the field. He joined forces with his partner to establish Beltway Lending, a company that caters to investors seeking to fix and flip or keep rental properties. Brian's real estate journey began when he purchased a property in Southwest Baltimore for $20,000 in 2019 and sold it in 2020. He then worked as a financial analyst for Northrop Grumman but left to pursue a career as a hard money lender. Brian credits the owner of a local lender, as a mentor who played a crucial role in his success. Brian's first property was a single-family home in a rough part of Baltimore, which he bought with seller financing. Although he did not make a profit from the property, he sold it for a significant amount of money, which he used to fund a hard money loan. This experience laid the foundation for his future investments, including a rental property he purchased in May 2021. DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans are a type of investment property loan that allows borrowers to use rental income to qualify for a loan. Beltway Lending specializes in DSCR loans, offering a 30-year fixed-rate loan that is underwritten based on the property's income versus the borrower's debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. To be approved, the property must produce a positive cash flow. DSCR loans are beneficial for self-employed individuals or those with poor credit who may not qualify for traditional bank financing. However, DSCR loans require an appraisal, and the appraisal form must consider the property's condition and market rent. When evaluating a DSCR loan, it is essential to consider the overall picture, including the property's cash flow and the potential risks and benefits of the loan. Investors must carefully assess the property's ability to generate positive cash flow and determine whether the loan is suitable for their investment goals. By understanding the requirements and benefits of DSCR loans, investors can make informed decisions and achieve success in the real estate industry. Brian Valdivia and Beltway Lending are a testament to the potential for success in the real estate industry. By sharing his personal and professional journey, Brian highlights the importance of mentorship, hard work, and strategic planning in achieving his financial goals. Beltway Lending's DSCR loan product offers a unique opportunity for investors to access capital and grow their portfolios. By understanding the key requirements and benefits of DSCR loans, investors can make informed decisions and achieve success in the real estate industry.

Join us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we are excited to share the journey of Tom Marotta , the Founder and CEO of The Spaceport Company , has a unique background in urban planning, the aerospace industry, and regulatory bodies. With a career spanning over two decades, Tom has worked in various roles, including city planning, foreign service, and commercial space transportation. His experience has prepared him well to tackle the challenge of building launch pads for rockets on ships. Tom's entrepreneurial journey began when he failed to find suitable launch pads at a rocket company. Recognizing the growing demand for launch pads exceeding the supply, Tom leveraged his skill set to start The Spaceport Company in 2022. The company has made significant progress over the past three years. The space industry is booming, with an estimated global value of hundreds of billions of dollars. The demand for data services from space, such as GPS, financial transactions, and weather forecasting, drives this growth. However, the US has only four spaceport facilities, with a fifth exclusive use facility owned by SpaceX, which is not available to other companies. This limited capacity has led to satellite companies looking overseas for launch opportunities. To address this issue, The Spaceport Company aims to build more spaceport capacity by creating launch pads on ships. Tom and his team scoured the globe for land to build a spaceport but found it too expensive and difficult due to environmental concerns. Instead, they will operate the spaceport at sea, modeled after the successful Boeing's Sea Launch Project, which launched 36 times before being discontinued due to geopolitics.

Join us on ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we feature Blake Pierre , a talented mixed media artist. He was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and later moved to the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area at the age of 10. Growing up in a small town with limited exposure to art, Blake discovered his passion for drawing and anime as a child. He also developed a strong interest in martial arts, earning a black belt in taekwondo at a young age. Blake's family moved to the DMV area when his father secured a better job in DC. This exposure to a new culture and community had a significant impact on Blake's life. He attended Glen Park High School and later transferred to McDonough High School in Charles County, where he graduated. During his high school years, Blake was a football player, but an injury forced him to miss his senior season. This setback led him to take an art class, which ultimately sparked his interest in the creative field. After high school, Blake attended Grambling State University in Louisiana, where he began to take his art more seriously. Following graduation, he moved back to the DMV area and started his art career as a mixed media artist. Blake's inspiration and encouragement from a black art gallery owner led him to start painting as a hobby. He later majored in psychology at Grambling State University, but two remarkable art pieces convinced him to reconsider and pursue a career in art. Blake went on to complete a post-baccalaureate program at the School of Art Institute of Chicago and later earned an Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree. He spent about four years making a living as a full-time artist in Chicago, working part-time jobs to supplement his income while focusing on his craft. Ultimately, Blake returned to DC, where he started teaching at the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Blake's journey highlights the importance of: 1. Following one's passion - Blake's passion for art was sparked by an injury and a chance art class, demonstrating that it's never too late to discover and pursue one's creative interests. 2. Taking calculated risks - Blake's decision to switch his major in college and pursue a career in art showcases the value of taking calculated risks to achieve one's goals. 3. Continuous learning and development - Blake's commitment to further education and professional development at the School of Art Institute of Chicago and Duke Ellington School of the Arts demonstrates the importance of ongoing learning and growth in any artistic field. 4. Embracing inspiration and support - Blake's encounters with encouraging individuals, such as the art gallery owner, illustrate the impact that mentors and role models can have on one's creative journey. By examining Blake Pierre's story, you can gain valuable insights into the journey of a mixed media artist, highlighting the importance of following one's passion, taking calculated risks, continuous learning, and embracing inspiration and support.

Join us on ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we feature Bree Jones , the Founder and CEO of Parity Homes , a nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing vacant neighborhoods in Baltimore City by renovating and selling homes to community members who are prepared to own a home through financial literacy and mortgage literacy training. Parity aims to narrow the racial wealth disparity in home ownership rates. The organization has already completed 7 homes, with 7 families now living in them, and has 20 more homes in the works. Parity buys vacant properties by the block, renovates them, and then sells them to community members who are prepared to own a home through financial literacy and mortgage literacy training. The organization has recognized the importance of providing affordable rentals, with 20% of its 50 properties planned for rentals. This move helps to achieve its goal of promoting home ownership while also providing stable and affordable housing options. Parity keeps the neighborhood where the homes are located private to avoid attracting speculators and to ensure that the community remains stable. Bree Jones grew up in New York, specifically in the Bronx, New Rochelle, and Westchester County. As a child, she loved building things, such as Lego's, and was encouraged by her mom to pursue her interests. She went into finance and studied international business at Northeastern University, where she learned Mandarin Chinese and lived in China for two years. She became fluent in Mandarin and still maintains some proficiency. Throughout her career, Bree Jones has experienced a series of unexpected twists and turns. She landed a job at Morgan Stanley in market data, where she worked for two years before being headhunted by a hedge fund. At the hedge fund, she worked on an alternative data platform that used big data to forecast stock prices. She then transitioned to venture capital, where she worked in fintech investing for a year before feeling an itch to start her own business. She eventually left the VC job and started her own company, Parity. Throughout her career, Bree Jones has spoken multiple languages, including Chinese and French, which has been an asset in her work. She has also worked in different locations, including New York, China, Connecticut, and Maryland. Her career path has been marked by both successes and setbacks, but ultimately leading her to where she is today. Her experiences and skills have prepared her to lead Parity, and her passion for building and creating things. Bree Jones and Parity are inspiring examples of how individuals can make a positive impact on their community through dedication and hard work. With its mission to narrow the racial wealth disparity in home ownership rates, Parity is playing a vital role in fostering stable and affordable housing options in Baltimore City. Bree Jones's unique background and experiences have prepared her to take on this challenge, and her passion for building and creating things has driven her to make a difference in the lives of those around her.

Join us on ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ with ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠ as we feature Joe Cody , the Founder of Grain Fertility , a care coordination and fertility patient navigation service. Grain Fertility aims to support patients undergoing fertility treatments and clinics by providing patient empowerment coaches, a secure application to organize treatment information, and guidance on navigating the complex process. The service is led by medical professionals who translate complex medical information into understandable language, making fertility treatment information accessible to patients. Joe Cody grew up in St. Louis, fascinated by weather and science from a young age. He wanted to be a meteorologist, but opted instead for a degree in political science. This led him to work on Capitol Hill. Joe's childhood fascination with weather began when he witnessed a tornado in person in first grade. He still enjoys weather-related activities as a hobby. Interestingly, his interest in weather started at a young age, after which he co-founded Grain Fertility, employing a complex analytical approach to making fertility treatment information understandable and accessible to patients. As Joe's background in politics and health policy came into play, he recounted his experience on Capitol Hill. His interest in fertility began after he got married and started trying to have kids. He discovered that infertility is common, expensive, and time-consuming, and was required to seek treatment from a reproductive endocrinologist. Ultimately, he and his partner had to use in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive, which was an overwhelming process due to the amount of information, finances, and emotional and physical impact on both partners. Grain Fertility's approach to fertility treatment information is unique, employing patient empowerment coaches, a secure application, and guidance on navigating the complex process. Infertility is a common, expensive, and time-consuming process, requiring patients to seek treatment from a reproductive endocrinologist. The emotional and physical impact of IVF on partners should not be underestimated, highlighting the need for patient support and guidance throughout the process.
