Community involvement

Carl’s focus is to keep upscaling the direction of his companies while giving back through community involvement. The reason, in his words, is personal experience: he keeps supporting the community and inner-city involvement because he lived it, and it keeps him driven to speak out for people who would normally not have a voice.
