Hi Sean, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
3 things be persistent,patience and network.Also learn to take constructive criticism

Currently work part time security for a year at Tiffany’s.Being persistent and willing to communicate.With XS Energy Drinks was able to travel and do radio shows,photo shoots with models in atlanta,georgia to push my brand.It wasn’t easy at times promoting XS,dealt with racism as former IBO with Amway,they didn’t want to see me grow or promote XS at urban communities in NYC.I exposed them on youtube(Arlene Brown presents enterprenuer Sean Felder)it’s over 5,000 veiws at moment.Want world to know that XS Energy Drinks is reaching international had a African reporter promote my drink in his newspaper.Met him last year working security at 2021 NYC Marathon
