They bootstrapped their business into the world’s largest sock store. John is not only a business owner, but he has Down syndrome. Every day, John and Mark show what people with differing abilities can do – more than half their colleagues have a differing ability.

Brandon Allen is a North Carolina local with a working-class background and an entrepreneurial spirit that has fueled his journey across multiple industries. He got his start working on farms and in tobacco warehouses before earning his PharmD from the University of South Carolina in 2012. After relocating to Fort Worth, Texas, he took on various roles in pharmacy before purchasing a community retail pharmacy in 2016.

Business ownership brought both challenges and growth. By 2021, Brandon was on the verge of bankruptcy—but through perseverance, mentorship, and faith, he turned things around and made the business profitable again. Along the way, he realized his true passion lay elsewhere. In 2023, he sold the pharmacy and went all-in on Masterpiece Construction—a remodeling company committed to breaking industry stereotypes. The company quickly gained traction, generating over $1.1 million in revenue in its first full calendar year and continuing to grow. His story is one of perseverance, reinvention, and boldly pursuing purpose through each new chapter.

Before stepping into the world of solopreneurship, Evan Kuterbach spent over a decade in sales and marketing, working across industries like tech, martech, SaaS, and e-commerce. He honed his skills in sales strategy, building connections, and helping businesses grow—starting with his first job out of college with the Phoenix Suns.

In early 2023, Evan hit a turning point. Burnout pushed him to rethink his career, and he decided to take a leap into entrepreneurship. That’s when he launched Gibson Voicebox, a copywriting business that blends storytelling and strategy to help brands connect with their audiences authentically.

Later in 2023 and into early 2024, he co-founded Canyon Pickleball, combining his passion for the outdoors with community and sustainability. Through every paddle sold, the company gives back to national parks and inspires people to explore more. Today, he’s focused on building businesses with purpose, staying honest about the process, and helping others take their own ideas from dream to reality.
