Before Stream, Lloyd and Nannette were very passionate about their jobs. An army veteran, Lloyd works at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center as a maintenance mechanic and his wife Nannette is an educator for the Henry County Public School System in Georgia. Although they loved their respective careers, Lloyd said they were mostly just managing life.

The two agreed that they wanted to start a business but were unsure what kind. Enter the Stream Opportunity. The couple joined in 2016 and after learning the business, they were able to offset the cost of Lloyd going back to school. They both still work their full-time jobs, and admits it’s been a roller coaster ride to success but insist that they’d have it no other way.

“We wanted to leave our kids with something more than just debt. We wanted the opportunity to make generational wealth, where they can not only inherit but also build their own legacy,” he said. “The icing on the cake for us: we did not have to wait to get a promotion or a raise. We could blaze our own path.”
