We almost talked ourselves out of a new Memorial Weekend event because it wasn’t the “guaranteed” move. The warnings, the what-ifs, the fear of the unfamiliar, all of it started steering the wheel. Then we showed up, set up shop, and realized how wrong we were. What we found was a family environment, promoters who actually value vendors, and the kind of customer energy that reminds you why you started in the first place.

We break down the real entrepreneurship lesson hiding inside a weekend recap: comfort zones can look like responsibility, but they can quietly keep your business stuck. From reworking our vendor setup and display, to competing on quality in a crowded apparel row, to hearing encouragement from people who’ve been in the game for decades, we walk through the mindset shift that happens when you stop letting fear make decisions. If you care about small business growth, taking chances, and building confidence through action, you’ll hear plenty to steal for your own life.

Then the family side hits hard. We expected loud noises and stress with a toddler. Instead, our daughter became a mud truck and monster truck superfan and we got a full-circle moment that feels tied to Keith’s dad and the memories that built him. We also share a big personal step coming up soon, because growth isn’t just business, it’s faith and follow-through too.
