I wasn't out here searching for a business partner when Evan came into my life.
Honestly? I wasn't even thinking about starting an agency.
But the best partnerships don't happen when you're looking for them.
Here's what you need to know about Evan - the guy has zero fear when it comes to taking chances.
I had the expertise. The relationships. The brand contacts. But I was just a dude with ideas rattling around in my brain.
Evan? He'd take my random 2 am thoughts and make them real by noon.
Not gonna lie - he was the grown-up in our relationship early on. 😅
I'd hit him with "yo what if we tried this wild thing..."
And instead of giving me 47 reasons why it wouldn't work (like everyone else),
Evan would just go:
"Why not?"
Two words that changed everything.
When you find someone who actually gets your unorthodox way of operating...
when you're both on that same wavelength of controlled chaos...
That's where the magic lives.
We weren't copying anyone's playbook, so we made our own.
Most partnerships crash because people try to fit into boxes. Do things the "right" way. Play it safe.
Nah.
The best partnerships run on shared delusion.
Believing your weird approach might actually hit.
Knowing that taking chances isn't risky - it's required.
Understanding that "why not?" wins over "here's why not" every time.
Evan saw something back then that I couldn't even see in myself. And he still bet on it.
Now we're pushing nearly $850M in Amazon sales this year.
All because one guy kept saying "why not?"
Find yourself an Evan. Or better yet, BE someone's Evan.
Because when you work with people who match your madness?
There's no ceiling anymore. 🚀
