“It’s not about finding yourself. It’s about shedding what is holding you back.” Fermented Felon Founder Tony Horner was no stranger to the word no. - Denied employment from a call center for his criminal history. - Denied an SBA loan from a bank because of his criminal history. - Denied admission to professional investment classes because of his criminal history. - Denied access to trade school because of his criminal history. - Denied admission to college programs because of his criminal history. From incarceration to innovation, kombucha was Tony’s big YES. Fermented Felon combines the restorative powers of kombucha with Tony’s belief in fresh starts. Consumers can sip on handcrafted flavors like Profound Peach and Raspberry Respect while supporting their mission to uplift lives impacted by the justice system. Tony may have developed a winning kombucha recipe but when he needed business support, he turned to SCORE. “My SCORE mentor was phenomenal. He had the formula for success.” Find your very own formula for success: https://lnkd.in/gs_bK3r7
