How did the journey into entrepreneurship begin? JAY: From childhood i was passions about the things i love which was music and sports and I knew i didn’t want to work for anyone and working a 9-5 wasn’t going to be my final destination.
CASAY: After working for some of the top companies in media as a publicist, tv producer and programming executive, I attempted to leave the industry and focus on my family. Well that didn’t work.
