Lemonade Stand Stories

Chad Willardson, since the beginnings of his lawn mowing days, has seen the benefit from bringing value to people. Even though he didn't completely know what he wanted to do in college, he happened to visit the Merrill Lynch booth and realized that helping people with their finances spoke to him.

Fast forward to years later, he started Pacific Capital, a firm in So Cal specifically focused on helping entrepreneurs and families with financial decisions. He further went on with a group of people to create the Draft Sports Complex, a 75,000 sq ft arena used for basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, and stunts tournaments. And then Covid hit. And with that blow, when all games were suddenly cancelled, after sleepless nights, they've turned the facility into a charter school for kids whose parents are essential workers. Incredible story right there.  

Enjoy!

Preparation meets opportunity.  That would be the phrase I would use to describe Brandon Doman.  Incredibly humble, down to earth, and hard working, Brandon discovered his love for football when he was 8 and never looked back.  Under the guidance of excellent coaches, he went from playing quarterback at Skyline HS, BYU, and ultimately, the 49ers.  He is very humble about his success and credits much of his path to God.  He truly believes in miracles.  Many times when the ball happened to fall a certain way or a play to go down a certain path that led him to play in the NFL.  

After leaving the world of coaching football, Brandon pivoted to spend more time with his family and is now the CEO of Weigh Safe, a company that invented one of the most innovative trailer hitches in the world.  We chatted about the incredibly different change in direction and how he was able to leave his football identity behind and still find value in what he is doing.  Enjoy!

Gordon's story is full of epic adventures.  Originally from Canada, he moved to Utah because the greatest snow on earth claimed his soul.  Then while immersed in video games, his future wife literally stepped in front of his tv and the rest is history.

The man lives and breathes the entrepreneur spirit, and although he struck out a few times, he knew with white hot passion that Xango would succeed, and succeed it did almost over night.  They grew painfully fast.  We chatted about the many things he did as an entrepreneur, his philosophies behind success, and the nature of true, boundless happiness.
