This series runs on real people with real stories, and the best ones rarely show up in a Google search. Starting this week, we're asking directly.

This series exists to introduce readers to someone in this city who decided to stop waiting and start building, but the best subjects for it are almost never the businesses that rank on page one of a search engine. They're the ones a neighbor mentions in passing, the food truck that's been quietly building a following for two years, the shop owner who's never once done a press release.

So this week, instead of a feature, we're asking you directly. Know an entrepreneur in Beaumont, at any stage, brand new or twenty years in, who deserves the spotlight? Tell us. Use the same tip form we use for events and news, and put "The Proof" in the subject line.

We'll be back next week with someone real, thanks to you.
