In August of 2006, the two, along with 3 friends, packed into a minivan and set out on a cross-country road trip.  Over the course of 12 days – during music concerts, days of driving, and hours of conversation – a dream was devised, which would eventually turn into what they have built today.

The two have a passion for making other people happy through

I caught up with the two in order to hear about their entrepreneurial journey, and learn about what they attribute their success too.
