no risk. no story.
no risk no story is not just a saying - or a slogan. it’s a risk. - it may not resonate like i think it will.
not everyone is a risk taker. not every risk has a happy ending. but a lesson is always somewhere in the cereal box.
i’m scared.
so i packed up my safety, my khaki and my button down environment and moved across the country to a barn - paid way too much money and gambled on the mountains as my source of inspiration and financial return.
i’m all in - and maybe all out.
i have no control. i only have my passion, my experience, my competitive desire to never lose.
i tried something last year and it didn’t work. it almost shut me down. it was and is product forward.
this is not. this is me saying out loud - i’m going for it.
i will be rejected. other artists will be chosen. i will be put on waiting lists. those that seemingly take the easy road will seemingly win.
i will get angry. i will curse.
i will try again and forget why i started. i will forget this is not a product. i will want more likes, and click and sales. i will curse again.
but i will wake up every day and risk. i will write the story. i will choose the words. i choose which case the letters are. every day. i choose the actions. every day. i choose to risk. every day. everyday will be a story.
i want to hear yours.

no risk. no story stories. if you are here you either found one of the plywood or paper originals, or i have asked you to be a part of these stories because i believe your risk was for more than just you - you are an example to artists, entrepreneurs and humans of all kinds.
