THE LONGWAY

From hustling and trying to figure life out to becoming a business owner, Dennis Ashley shares Part 1 of his journey on Episode 5 of The Longway.

Dennis is the owner of 7 Hills Cleaners & Custom Tailoring in Henderson, Nevada. In this conversation, we talk about entrepreneurship, the hustle behind building a business, sacrifice, relationships, lessons learned along the way, and what it really takes to keep going when there are no shortcuts.

This episode represents something we believe strongly at The Longway: relationships can take you places money can’t. My connection with Dennis came through Boston Rob, showing how genuine relationships and a solid reputation can open doors.

Welcome to The Longway.

Before I ask athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, executives, and leaders about their journey, I wanted to introduce myself and explain why this platform exists.

Success isn’t built overnight. It’s built through discipline, sacrifice, setbacks, faith, and the willingness to keep moving forward when nobody is watching. That’s what The Longway is all about.

In this episode, I share the experiences that shaped my life—from chasing opportunities and making mistakes to building businesses, overcoming adversity, and learning that every shortcut comes with a cost. Those lessons became the foundation of this podcast.

The Longway was created for anyone who refuses to settle, believes there’s more to life, and wants honest conversations about what it really takes to make it. Every guest, every story, and every lesson is designed to help you grow as a leader, entrepreneur, professional, parent, athlete, or creator.

This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about progress.

It’s about embracing the process.

It’s about building something that lasts.

If you’re ready to stop looking for shortcuts and start building your future one step at a time, you’re in the right place.

Welcome to The Longway.

What It Takes To Make It. No Shortcuts.
