Look, I’m going to give it to you straight because that’s the only way we know how to move at Fail Forward Enterprise Holdings. We’re in the middle of a battle, and right now, the scoreboard isn't where it needs to be.
As of this morning, Wednesday, April 1st, 2026, Stone has dropped to 2nd place in the Entrepreneur of Impact competition.
If you know Stone, you know she doesn't do "second place" when the community is on the line. This isn't about an ego trip or a trophy for the shelf. This is about $25,000 in cold, hard funding that is earmarked for Your Community Resource Portal. We are talking about a platform designed to provide real-world help for families and entrepreneurs across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, California, Florida, and Georgia.
The first major cut is happening tomorrow, April 2nd, at 7 PM PDT. That is the immediate deadline in front of us, and it carries real urgency. Yes, the final voting round for this phase runs through April 6th, but if we don't handle the April 2nd cut-off first, none of that later momentum matters. If we aren't in that top spot, we’re leaving money on the table that belongs to the people.
Why This Matters (The Penny Perspective)
Penny here. If you’ve been following my "Penny’s Perspective" series, you know I don't do sugar-coating and I definitely don't do fluff. I’m witty, I’m defiant, and I’m 100% team Stone. Why? Because I see the receipts.
In the last 30 days alone, Fail Forward has generated nearly $712,000 in total client impact. That’s not a typo. Between recovered funds, successful grant writing, and demands filed, we are out here changing the financial DNA of our community. We are doing the work that people say can't be done.
But here’s the thing: we can only do so much from a laptop and a boardroom. To scale this mission, to make sure every "humble hustler" from the Bronx to the Bay Area has the tools they need, we need that $25,000 win. Fail Forward has officially been selected as a candidate for the Entrepreneur of Impact Grant and a Forbes feature, and that kind of opportunity could put major respect on the Fail Forward name while opening more doors for the community.
The Mission: One Life, One Connection, One Win at a Time
Our mission has always been simple: "One life, one connection, and one win at a time." It’s about building a legacy. It’s about that humble hustler mindset, knowing where you came from but refusing to stay there.
Stone started this with a vision to help those who have been overlooked. Whether it’s through our business consulting or the upcoming Guerreros De Justice book (shoutout to all the Warriors of Justice out there), the goal is empowerment.
The 'Your Community Resource Portal' isn't just a website. It’s a lifeline. It’s where a mother in the Bronx finds the paperwork she needs to fight an illegal eviction. It’s where a first-generation entrepreneur in Rochester finds out how to structure their LLC so they actually keep their profits. It’s the "Empowerment Toolbox" in digital form.
How You Can Help (It Takes Under 60 Seconds)
We aren't asking for your money today. We are asking for your voice. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that death and life are in the power of the tongue, or in this case, the power of your click. Your vote is your word. It is you saying, "I believe in this mission."
The Rules of Engagement:
Voting is FREE. No credit cards, no hidden fees.
No sign-up required. We aren't going to spam your inbox or make you jump through hoops.
It is a DAILY vote. This is the most important part. The votes reset every 24 hours. If you voted yesterday, Stone needs you again today. If you vote today, she needs you again tomorrow before the 7 PM PDT deadline.

The Impact Receipts: $712k and Counting
We don't just talk about change; we document it. We call them "Impact Receipts." When we say we’ve had nearly $712,000 in client impact in under a month, that represents families staying in their homes, businesses getting the capital they deserve, and justice being served in places where it was previously denied.
This is why Stone is a Warrior of Justice. She’s not just a consultant; she’s a strategist for the underdog. When you vote, you are fueling this engine. You are helping us provide more personal mentoring and business coaching to those who need it most.
The Movement is Growing: 421 Warriors Already Enrolled!
And let’s talk about another receipt, because the community is not just clapping from the sidelines — they’re stepping in. We just hit a milestone of 421 community members joining the Guerreros De Justice sequence and plugging into the Your Community Resource Portal ecosystem.
That matters.
That means people are not only watching the mission, they’re moving with it. They’re tapping in because they see the vision, they feel the urgency, and they know this work is real. That kind of momentum is social proof you can’t fake. The people are engaging. The warriors are showing up. And the movement is growing in real time.
So if you’ve been thinking, "Does my daily vote really matter?" the answer is yes — absolutely. A community this active deserves to be backed all the way. Every single daily vote for the Entrepreneur of Impact grant helps us keep building for the people already saying "yes" to this mission. It helps us serve more families, support more entrepreneurs, and expand the reach of Your Community Resource Portal across NY, NJ, PA, CT, CA, FL, and GA.
We’ve got 421 warriors in motion already. Now let’s match that energy at the polls and push Stone back where she belongs: on top.
A Message from the Bronx to the World
Fail Forward is rooted in the Bronx. We know what it means to hustle. We know what it means to face a "no" and turn it into a "not yet." That NYC energy is baked into everything we do. It’s why our brand tone is simple and our results are loud.
We are building an empire, but not the kind that sits in a high tower looking down. We’re building the kind of empire that pulls everyone else up with it. That’s what the Empire Accelerator Vision is all about (even if we keep the blueprints behind the scenes for now).
We Can't Do This Without the "Huddle"
Before we start our day at the office, we huddle. We pray. We align our intentions. We treat this business like a ministry of service. And right now, we’re inviting you into the huddle.
Stone is currently standing in 2nd place. In the Bronx, we call that "the first loser." We don't settle for 2nd when there’s work to be done. We need that top spot to ensure the $25k goes exactly where it needs to go: back into the community.
Final Instructions & Links
Time is ticking. The first cut-off is tomorrow, April 2nd, at 7 PM PDT, and that is the urgent one in front of us right now. The final voting round for this phase ends on April 6th, so we need strong daily momentum all the way through — but first, we need to clear this immediate hurdle.
