We recently had the chance to connect with Brittney Alofoje and have shared our conversation below.
Brittney, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
Honestly, the first part of my day is really important to me. Once, I finally get my eyes open, lol. I usually start with prayer and just taking a little quiet time for self-reflection with God. It helps me center myself, set my intentions, and put the day in perspective before everything gets busy. After that, I’ll usually get myself ready. Having that spiritual grounding and a little bit of structure early on makes me feel more focused and balanced as I go into work.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Brittney, and I’ve always been really driven by the idea of creating opportunities and building something meaningful from the ground up. I’m currently focused on growing my vending business, which might sound simple at first, but what makes it special is how it connects convenience with people’s everyday needs. For me, it’s not just about snacks or drinks—it’s about tailoring each location to the people who use it, making sure the options are fresh, accessible, and even healthier when possible.
What makes my journey unique is that I didn’t come into this with everything handed to me—I’ve had to learn, adapt, and figure out how to turn small opportunities into long-term growth. Right now, I’m working on expanding my placements and building relationships with local businesses, because I see this not just as machines in buildings, but as a way to serve people, make their day easier, and create something sustainable.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
I think what breaks bonds between people is usually a lack of communication or understanding. When people stop listening to each other, or when pride and assumptions get in the way, it creates distance.
What can restore those bonds is honesty and forgiveness. Everyone is human and still learning. Personally, my faith plays a big role in that too, because I believe God calls us to forgive and to love past imperfections. That mindset helps me keep relationships stronger, even after challenges.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
I’d say one of the biggest fears that’s held me back is actually pretty simple—heights and swimming. I’ve realized those fears have made me hesitant to try certain experiences, whether it’s going on tall rides, traveling to places where I might have to swim, or even just stepping outside my comfort zone in other areas of life.
But at the same time, recognizing those fears has taught me a lot about courage and persistence. I’ve learned that it’s not about never being afraid—it’s about pushing forward even when you are
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
Honestly, the person I admire most for their character is my mom. She’s the sweetest person I know—she almost never gets angry, is always forgiving no matter the situation, and constantly gives back to others.
Watching her handle life with so much patience and kindness has shaped a lot of who I am, and I try to bring that same grace and generosity into my own life and work.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
If I knew I only had 10 years left, the first thing I’d stop worrying about is paying off debt. Honestly, I’d let that go and focus on living life to the fullest—traveling, trying new experiences, spending time with people I love, and just really enjoying every moment. Life is too short to let financial worries hold you back from making memories and truly living.
