Quiq Labs Interview | BBB Torch Awards for Ethics | KSEE24 / CBS47
In this special interview hosted by Nathan Gilbert, Director of the Better Business Bureau of Central California & Inland Empire Counties, Quiq Labs co-founders Damon Thomas and Curlen Phipps, alongside Sales Lead Tabari Parker, sit down on set at KSEE24 / CBS47 to share the heart behind their nomination for the BBB Torch Awards for Business Ethics.
More than a business, Quiq Labs is a creative education and technology studio that believes in being Heroes in the community. From teaching digital skills and web design to hiring the very students they train, Quiq Labs is redefining what it means to run an ethical, community-centered company.
In this interview, we discuss:
The core values that drive Quiq Labs — Creativity, Heroism, Excellence, Empowerment, Teamwork, Fun
How Quiq Labs empowers high school students through real career opportunities and mentorship.
The company’s community partnerships with organizations like Fresno Mission, Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation, and Fresno Housing Authority to bring tech and career training to adults and families.
The importance of ethics and transparency in everyday business decisions.
New services from the Quiq Labs videography team, helping businesses, organizations, and individuals tell their stories through professional video.
How Hero Academy courses are creating workforce development pathways in design, media, and technology, entrepreneurship for high schoolers and young adults.
Every story shared reflects a deep commitment to Character, Culture, Customers, and Community — the four pillars the BBB uses to recognize ethical excellence.
This nomination is more than recognition — it’s a reminder that doing good, teaching others, and building futures can be the foundation of a thriving business.
