After completing Loud Proud American's greatest challenge and biggest risk—attending Daytona Bike Week as a vendor—I reflect on this transformative adventure and the incredible relationships formed along the way.
• Giving heartfelt thanks to Brian and Zach Pomerleau who put their lives on hold to help make this dream possible
• Driving 26 hours straight in our converted school bus "Large Marge" from Maine to Florida
• Navigating the challenges of our vendor location and campground situation at Cackleberry Campground
• Operating on 3-4 hours of sleep each night while maintaining an intense schedule from 11am to past 3am
• Meeting Lisa who became our unofficial tour guide and introduced us to key industry connections
• Forming a brotherhood with country singer Daniel Johnson, leading to Loud Proud American's first musician sponsorship
• Having a memorable encounter with WWE star Braun Strowman who accepted a shirt from our brand
• Learning that relationships and connections are the true rewards of stepping outside your comfort zone
• Recognizing that people are placed in our paths for specific purposes if we're open to those encounters
Stay tuned for next week's episode where I'll break down the financial aspects and whether the rewards were worth the risks.
