Springfield, MO
“Every day you’ve gotta wake up and say, ‘I’ve gotta make money today,’" says, Ricky Smiley, Founder and Producer of Smiley Records, LLC.

I didn’t know what I was gonna do,” Smiley said. “I’ve already done all this homework. I’ve already done this building.” Smiley says it didn’t make sense to move or take another job, so he decided to go all in on his dream of running a record label and recording studio. Push yourself. Don’t let anything stop you.
