disability insurance benefits as ofJanuary 2004. We agree with the district court that

substantial evidence on the record as a whole supports the ALJ’s determination that

Mr. Persaud’s activities at Sungate, Inc., a non-profit human services business he

established, amounted to substantial gainful activity under Test Three in the

regulation related to the self-employed. See Igo v. Colvin, 839 F.3d 724, 728 (8th

Cir. 2016) (de novo review); 20 C.F. R § 404.1575 (a)(2) (2007). The judgment of

the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
