We had the good fortune of connecting with Carlton & Nicole Ross and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carlton & Nicole, what do you want your legacy to be?
That’s a wonderful question! Our legacy is important to us, and we strive to make a positive impact on our family and community. We want people to remember us as hardworking individuals who dedicated ourselves to the betterment of our loved ones and the community around us. We hope that everyone we meet and interact with will be inspired and impacted by the work we do in our community. Leaving a lasting impression and making a difference is what we aim for.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Our businesses, The Union Event Space and Fearless Athletics, is incredibly impressive! We have a wealth of experience in the event industry, which has undoubtedly contributed to the success of The Union. Similarly, our dedication to bettering the health of our community through Fearless Athletics is truly commendable.

Building and maintaining two successful businesses is undoubtedly a challenging endeavor, especially with the added responsibility of raising four children. It’s inspiring to see that our motivation comes from our family and the desire to provide for them. Overcoming challenges is never easy, but our determination and hard work have helped navigate through them.

Customer service is a top priority for both of your businesses, and that focus alone is commendable. Understanding that the satisfaction and happiness of our clients is crucial is a valuable lesson in itself. Our commitment to supporting individuals in their journeys, whether it’s through hosting events or promoting health and fitness, is truly admirable.

In essence, our brand and story are centered around believing in people and their visions. We want the world to know that Fearless Athletics and The Union Event Space are there to support individuals in achieving their goals, whether it’s hosting a book signing or embarking on a weight loss journey. This message of support and belief in others is a powerful one that sets us apart from others in your industry.

Our businesses are driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Here’s a fantastic itinerary for a week-long trip! Starting the day with a workout at Fearless Athletics is a great way to kickstart the day and prioritize health and fitness. Afterward, heading to Nana’s Chicken and Waffles for brunch which will be delicious and satisfying.

To continue the day, visiting Nutrition & Bridge for a nutritional beverage is a great choice, ensuring we stay energized and nourished.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely, giving credit and recognition where it’s due is important. It’s commendable that we’ve have worked hard from the ground up to build successful businesses. Our dedication and perseverance deserve recognition. While it’s true that our hard work and personal efforts have played a significant role in our success, it’s also worth acknowledging the influence of others in our journey. We’ve gained knowledge from reading and social media have likely contributed to our growth as well.
