This isn’t just a podcast, a business experiment, or a creative outlet—it’s the beginning of something bigger than just numbers, profits, or views. It’s about exploring ideas without limits, testing what works (and what doesn’t), and sharing the raw, unfiltered process of building something from the ground up.

In this episode, I dive deeper into:

- The lessons learned from growing Penji

- The first steps toward launching new ventures

- Conversations that challenge the status quo of business and creativity

- Why sometimes not knowing is the best way to start I don’t have all the answers.

I don’t even have all the questions yet. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this journey, it’s that every great idea starts with action—and this is mine. If you’re here for the real, unpolished truth about entrepreneurship, creativity, and pushing past doubt, hit Subscribe and join me on this unpredictable journey.

For the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to making world-class creative services accessible to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and marketing teams.

Now, on Valentine’s Day, I’m launching my love letter to that very same mission—while also creating a space where I can share my journey, my lessons, and the raw, unfiltered reality of my life. Not just as an entrepreneur, but especially as a new father.

My Purpose for This Channel is Simple:

- To show you how to build and scale a business with Penji.

- To give you real, actionable ideas you can implement immediately.

- To prove that anyone—starting with $0—can create something remarkable.

- To prove to myself that the idea I had five years ago was worth it.

This video should explain more, but if you’ve ever felt stuck, I hope I can provide 10 minutes (or more, depending on how much I rant) of free ideas that help make your world more profitable. Like, subscribe, follow along—or don’t. I don’t care. But my hope is that one day, you will.
