An Entrepreneur's Journey Of A Guy And His Dog With Persistence in motion
About A Guy and His Dog
Mission Statement
To break through the noise and the limits that hold so many back from uncertainty, fear, and the unknown. We’re here to prove that you can turn an idea into something tangible with grit, persistence, and some adventure.
We move forward, not waiting for perfect conditions, but by showing up daily, learning as we go, and building something meaningful from the ground up.
With a dog by our side and a van as our home, we’re not just chasing a product—we’re chasing a dream—a dream to connect, create, and inspire others to push past their limits and keep going, no matter what.
This is more than a mission- it’s a way of life.
Our Journey
After dedicating 15 years to the event lighting industry and investing my life savings into developing a prototype, my chapter in California ended. Fifteen years ago,
I arrived here searching for purpose, just one year off parole and two years out of prison. Now, I leave with my head held high and a manufacturable, market-ready product.
​​
With everything on the line, I made a bold decision: leave California, buy a van, and set out across the USA.
​
My mission? I want to build a team, validate my product, launch a crowdfunding campaign, and overcome every obstacle.
​
This journey isn’t just about business but about faith, persistence, and the courage to keep moving forward no matter the setbacks.
​​
From sunrise drives on unfamiliar highways to late nights spent refining ideas with my loyal dog, through the highs and lows, my dog has been my constant companion and reminder to enjoy the ride.
​
We invite you to follow our story, watch us struggle, adapt, and succeed. I hope to inspire and motivate others to pursue their burning desires, no matter their challenges.

Our Vision
We aim to inspire anyone who’s ever felt stuck or overlooked to take the leap, trust the process, and carve their own path- no matter how rough the road gets. We envision a world where big dreams aren’t limited by background, resources, or fear of the unknown but fueled by curiosity, courage, and relentless effort.
We imagine communities built not just on success stories, but on real stories of setbacks, breakthroughs, and the everyday grind it takes to make something out of nothing. Our vision is to light the way for others, proving that anyone can turn a simple idea into reality with heart, hustle, and a little adventure.
Expert Insights
Starting a business requires as much discernment as it does determination; with endless advice and success stories, the real challenge lies in identifying what truly aligns with your vision. The key is to gather insights, filter out the noise, and trust your judgment, taking what resonates with your journey and letting the rest go. Ultimately, progress is made by making clear decisions, learning from the outcomes, and standing firmly behind your choices, even when the path is uncertain- that’s where genuine growth and innovation begin.
Motivational Strategies
We believe progress starts with knowing your “why” and staying true to it, even when the road gets rough. Our approach is simple: set meaningful goals, embrace challenges as lessons, and let persistence, not perfection, drive each step forward. We celebrate small wins, learn from setbacks, and keep moving, knowing that real growth comes from showing up, adapting, and never giving up on the dream.
Authentic Experiences
We prioritize authentic experiences and genuine storytelling. Our focus is on providing real-life insights into the entrepreneurial journey, making every moment of the experience worthwhile.
