Every entrepreneur's story starts somewhere. For Ray, owner of Divine Shine in Quincy, the path from a car-crazy kid to a beloved business owner and community role model wasn’t straightforward. From early passion to painful setbacks, Ray’s journey is a testament to perseverance, faith, and the unspoken responsibility of entrepreneurship. Ray’s story is not just about manual labor or entrepreneurship; it’s a chronicle of resilience, humility, and impact. From overcoming early failures to winning accolades and inspiring the next generation, Ray’s daily grind is fueled by grit but guided by something deeper; a belief that when your mind is right, you serve not just yourself but your entire community.*Available on all Streaming Platforms || Be A Guest Linkhttps://linktr.ee/issakickbackpodFollow Us!

Friendship is not just about having people to hang out with, it’s about building a circle that supports, challenges, and uplifts you. It’s about choosing quality over quantity, setting boundaries to protect your energy, and being willing to have the tough conversations that lead to growth. Whether you’re nurturing lifelong friendships or seeking to form new ones, remember that the most important qualities are honesty, loyalty, and kindness.As you reflect on your own friendships, ask yourself: Are you building a circle, or are you trapped in a cage? The answer could change the course of your life.
