Meet India Hightower | Business Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with India Hightower and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi India, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Based on prior life experiences, taking risks was something I felt like I had to do. Risks were circumstances I couldn’t be afraid of. With the way life was growing up, I had no choice but to jump out and venture into different things; that was my form making mistakes and leaning from them. Times like those were set upon me causing me to realize that I have to do this for myself or else it’ll never get done. As far as my career, risks have allowed me to learn more about myself and have provided me with opportunities that force me to take that leap of faith. When its comes to taking risks it really is all about believing in yourself. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take. Nothing happens overnight, everything takes time and that’s just another key point taking risks have taught me.
What should our readers know about your business?
What sets Mother and Sons apart from others would be our dedication. Our business puts a lot of dedication into everything we do. Whether it be from the cooking, to the catering and delivery, and even down to our presence on social media. We believe engagement is so important. We love receiving feedback from our customers and even their constructive criticism as well. We enjoy taking a step back and reevaluating something specific just based upon reviews. This assists us in knowing that this is what our customers would like to see because they made it plain and clear that this is something the wanna see. It lets them know that they are being heard and it makes the feel inclusive too, especially when they can see their input being put into work. I got where I am today through hard work and a lot of perseverance. Nothing in life is going to be easy and I think that sometimes after numerous obstacles us as humans we want to throw in the towel and quit but we can’t. We need to use our setbacks for the greater comeback! Along the way I learned that patience is key. You cannot rush the process of anything and except these amazing results. Everything in life takes time and all things need a little brewing. I want the world to know about my brand that we are who we say we are. We are always going to be what you see. We won’t change for anyone and we will not be bothered by the haters either.
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.
From my point of view, some of the most fun places to check out are anywhere where you can go and have a good time and make good memories too. Here in my city we have some great beaches. Both Hollywood Beach and Fort Lauderdale beach have the best spots to check out for food. Like GG’s Waterfront and even Shooters Waterfront as well. There’s even the Galleria Mall located in Downtown Fort Lauderdale where people can shop and check out cool stores as well.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There is a group of people I would like to dedicate my shoutout out to, and those three people would be my kids. My sons are my biggest motivation. Their energy and ideas not only help me make this business but it also inspire me to strive. Mother and Sons is something that I want them to be able to take up when it’s my time to step back. I want them to be able to have something to remember me when that time does come. My sons and I are what make up Mother and Sons. We work and cook together, clean up together and even serve together. This business is something special to me and my kids. Without them there wouldn’t be a Mother and Sons so that’s solely why my shoutout goes to them. I love them so much and I wouldn’t trade them or the experiences we have shared so far from our business for the world!
