I'm One Happy Dad Today!
About a month ago my oldest son sent me a text message that made me smile from ear to ear...
A quick back story about my kid.
He's smart. Like super book smart, in college doing his thing smart...His Dad, yours truly, is much more addicted to entrepreneurship. So when he sends me a text and tells me...
"Dad I'm starting a clothing brand!"
You should have seen me smile!
Over the next few weeks he texted me and asked me every single thing you could imagine about starting a business.
I'm not sure he took all my advice but today....He soft launched his business!
Pretty slick huh?
He's calling it 8th Element Clothing!
He's doing this all himself and it's his first foray into building a business.
Let's just say...I'm pretty excited for him :)
I guess having a Dad around him for his entire life SCREAMING about how important building your own income streams was...Rubbed off?
LOL I'd like to take credit but this is all...Him and his desire to build something of his own.
I'll be there to help him out if he needs, as you guessed it, I've already told him he needs to integrate crypto into his purchase options LOL
Yeah, I'm biased ;)
But wow...I'm so happy for him today!
To me, he's got the best of both worlds now....
He'll be able to keep going with his studies in university, but supplement his income and make some extra cash on the side.
Win win!!!!
And who knows....Maybe this is the next super star clothing designer ;)
Now I just need to convince him to make some sizes for his Dad...lol
Yes, I'll be dragging him to Hive because I think this is a great place for him to start building brand awareness and helping bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and the blockchain...
Let's grow together!!!
Come say hi and meet with the most dedicated and fired up entrepreneurs on the blockchain ...

We're big on community!

congrats to him and I wish him a great experience ahead. I was also once into this cloth branding business, I learned a lot about people and mostly about fabric...for me though, I guess it was just a phase...
Thanks! Yeah I dabbled it in too a decade or so ago...Crazy industry for sure!
I like the flaming 8, so cool!
I can imagine you dancing around with joy!
All the best for his new adventure!
Can't wait to Fireshopping there one day ;)
Smiles from ear to ear.
Yeah I need to get him hooked up with this community ;)
Well, the apple doesn't fall from the tree, huh? :)
Wow! That is awesome!! Congratulations Matt! And the logo is really snazzy. I like it! Once he has a website up, I will check it out :) I can imagine how excited he is, too.
Yes, definitely bring him on HIVE & I am sure he will have tons of support here, let alone everywhere else! :) And there are so many ways he could show his brand as well.
So happy for both of you! :) 🧡
Thanks Jenn!
Yeah I'm very excited for him.
But he needs to curb expectations lol He's made a few sales already and thinks he's set for life LOL
Uh oh.... yes, definitely! He will understand as it goes. I think we all have been there! 😂🤣
Congratulations, Matt! I mean, we have to congratulate to him... :)
Btw, why you didn't hire him for creating logo and design work for the CTP? Or, you did?
LOL
Nah I actually recommended he go to Fiverr for the designs...I'm not 100% sure what he ended up doing though.
Congrats to Matt on starting his own business! hope he is taking business admin in school as that will help him on his way! Or at least some business classes as a minor. He will do well I think and he should do videos as well as he was good on camera!
He's doing the law thing in school.
At least from what he told me he is...Could be an option for him though for sure.
Congratulations Jon and Matty! I hope I spelled his name correctly, Jon! This is great news 😄
Thanks Barb, great to see you and thanks for the comments!!
I love the logo!
I thought it was great :) Simple but really stuck out.
Logo is fantastic.
Wishing him all the luck and success. We love to welcome him in Hive.
Thanks so much :)
Yeah I need to encourage him to get motivated and get involved here!
Wow that is great, big congrats to your son Jon, that flaming 8 looks cool.
Thanks man, appreciate that!!
Entrepreneurism is hereditary!
ha ha ha ha ha so so so true!!!
That is a awesome looking clothing brand
Thanks man, hope he does really well with it!
Fantastic. Proud 😁👍😎👌

Your welcome. No better feeling as a father than when a child does wonders to make you proud.
