Derrick Jones started Grow-4-It Home Solutions by blending two passions: outdoor work and smart home technology. He saw a clear need in the market. No one was offering both lawn care and smart home services as a single, streamlined solution. What began with mowing yards and setting up security cameras quickly evolved into a trusted business helping homeowners improve the look, functionality, and safety of their homes.

Elizabeth Metcalf began her professional path studying medicine at the University of Washington. Health issues in her younger years shifted her course, but rather than give up on her desire to help others, she found a new way forward. She picked up skills in tile work, drywall, millwork, painting, and more, discovering a natural talent and passion for hands-on work. Construction became her outlet, her purpose, and eventually her career.

When Trey Gadbois founded Gutters By Design, it was more than a business decision, it was a leap of faith. After serving as a Marine, Trey faced the heavy reality of transitioning into civilian life. Struggling to find himself and a new purpose, he leaned on prayer, faith, and the unwavering support of the VA, his family, and loyal friends. He knew he needed work that would not only challenge him but also keep his mind focused and productive.

Mike Cannon’s journey didn’t start with a fleet of trucks or a detailed business plan. It started with a lawn mower trailer and his mom’s old Ford Explorer. What began as simple local furniture deliveries quickly turned into something bigger. “People kept asking me to do larger and larger moves,” Mike says. Over time, those requests transformed into a full-scale moving company specializing in high-end, nationwide moves. What started small is now something powerful, and it’s only just beginning.

Some people are born into legacies, but not everyone carries them forward with heart, humility, and the drive to make a difference. Jette, the owner of Jetgen Metal-Worx, has been surrounded by family business values since birth. His grandmother started her company at age 25 in Helena, Montana, and it continues to thrive today. That legacy is in Jette's blood, and so is the understanding that business is about people, integrity, and grit.
