Back in February 2022, [Best Startup](https://beststartup.us/) reached out to me for an interview for their startup business magazine. They read about my small business, Rockhold Karate, somewhere and thought I would be a good fit. Of course, I was honored to do it, especially if it helps inspire someone with their small business startup.

The Best Startup Interview can be found here.
