The new technology enables business owners to digitally publish a video version of their business cards to all social media platforms. Its creators are African-American father Gregory Cherry and his three sons, Greg Jr., Isaac, and Isaiah.
The programme is VB Virtual Branding Solutions, and approximately 1,000 entrepreneurs nationwide have already started using it.
“Video business cards reveal so much more than a traditional business card,” claims Gregory. You can fully describe your work with a video business card and even provide a testimonial encouraging others to work with you.
As the first business owned and operated by a father-son team, VB Virtual Branding Solutions aims to train young and old entrepreneurs and empower local communities, educational institutions, and small businesses to partner as one entity. VB Virtual Branding Solutions invites these entrepreneurs to join and create residual earnings as they help promote the services and partner with other small business owners and education leaders.
Gregory, who was given a dyslexia diagnosis when he was 12 years old, was raised in the church but struggled as a young person after the murder of his older brother. He says that as a young man, he began drinking excessively; he started getting into fights at clubs, and he was arrested several times for DUI.
But when his youngest son was born, he changed his life. Now, he is a successful entrepreneur who works with his sons and other youth to turn what would have been a negative story into a positive one.
Here’s how each of his sons is contributing to VB Virtual Branding Solutions:
Gregory Cherry, Jr. scored one of the highest scores ever by an 18-year-old Air Force veteran, one of the youngest Airman Mechanic Supervisors for the C-5 Galaxy strategic airlifter. He is now VB Virtual Branding Solutions’ app builder for small business owners and a videographer trainer for students.
Isaiah Cherry graduated from high school in 2018 and is a VBCard trainer, a Beacons app developer, and a videographer trainer for students as young as 9. He is also the company’s entertainment podcast host and spokesperson for Operation Blue Shield, a non-profit organisation that connects communities with community cops for questions, answers, and accountability. He is pushing for officers to hold each other accountable for their actions within their units without fear of retaliation and for those not ready to be community servants to be removed.
Isaac Cherry graduated from high school in 2019 and was one of the Dallas Mavericks’ youngest youth journalists/hosts at age 12. He also hosted a sports and edutainment program on BPENTV about arena football. He co-hosted the Drew Pearson Sports Talk show, interviewing top sports athletes and celebrities such as Ray Lewis, Dewayne Harris, The Mayweathers, TMT fighters, Angela Simmons, Greg Ellis, Vivica Fox, and many others. Now, he is a podcaster and media trainer for VB Virtual Branding Solutions.
