Today we’d like to introduce you to Gary A. Royster.
Hi Gary A., so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I can still hear my deceased father’s voice, “Buy a truck, Gary, you can always make money!!” I’m Gary A. Royster, owner of Je Transporte. I have used my dad’s words as a catalyst to jumpstart my property preservation & renovation business. After many years of battling alcoholism and addiction alongside my father, I’ve overcame adversity. Defeating all odds, while watching my father die from the fatal disease. My business is built upon the hope of helping others who are less fortunate, turning lives around and making a change in the world’s economy.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Being a minority business today is tough when your basically starting from nothing. Capital, job retention & mental health is the most challenging when you’re a start up. If it was easy we all would do it.
As you know, we’re big fans of Je Transporte . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
