We had the good fortune of connecting with Yahman Berry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yahman, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I didn’t want to be working hard everyday for the rest of my life and making someone else rich , also me being in the military, I didn’t want the leave without setting myself up to succeed, like go to school or start a business. I make 23,000 a year in the military and I know for a fact that I’m worth way more than that.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a United States marine The corps has instilled discipline into me and I’m proud to be a marine. And to answer your question, was it easy? No it’s not easy the difficulty of balancing military life and business, can’t be explained, waking up early to go to work and coming back to work on my brand after a long day of stress
Is exhausting but I keep going !!! That’s why I work hard young so when I get older I don’t have to work , as of now I’m building a foundation for the future .

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to San Clemente pier after that , take them to primos food mart and pick up some tacos. Then go to the fashion district to do some shopping and show them around. And for night life I’ll take them to pacific beach and bar hop, drinks and music is the perfect way to end the trip.

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?
My parents They have supported my business and they motivate me to keep going !
