Hello, Houston! 🤠

This is me at my first small business expo EVER here in 2025! Loved getting to share how Robin is shaping the future for small businesses.

If you’ve never gone to one of these in your city, GO! It was well worth the time. Big fan of speed networking. Big fan of Chick Fil A being in the concession line 🐔👨🏻🅰️

Get to know what I’m up to at Robin over coffee on Zoom (or in person here in Houston)! Meeting Link in Bio ❤️

Have you ever felt like the thing you’re building just… doesn’t hit anymore? 🙋🏽‍♂️

Like it’s starting to sound like everyone else? 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♂️

That was me stretched out on my futon looking up at the ceiling a couple months ago.

I had just started Robin but I was already ready to quit.
Not because I didn’t care.
But because I didn’t feel like what I was building was anything special.

So I peeled everything back like layers of an onion
to get to the heart of why I wanted to do this in the first place.

Robin wasn’t supposed to be a clever business idea.
It was something I felt called to.
That small business owners would finally have the resources they need.
And somehow, I’d be used in that process.

That’s when I started daydreaming (again on my futon) about what that would change: Everything. See it’s not about the what we’re doing but it’s always about the why and the impact.

That small businesses would finally have real access, the kind of access to things, resources, people, capital, you name it that big companies have.
That everyday families would build wealth & legacy. WOW yeah (this is the moment I got up out of my futon)
That communities would come back to life.
That small business would stop being treated like the underdog, like a charity case.

And something inside me clicked.

Robin wasn’t meant to be the answer.
It was meant to be a bridge.
It’s not about spotlighting our offer.
It’s about spotlighting your dream.

I burned my futon down (jk), paced the floor with the burning of a thousand suns, and start believing in Robin, that I had to build this.

This whiteboard?
It’s where Robin stopped being about us
and started being about ushering in the Small Business Era.

Sometimes the quietest dreams are the ones that carry the most weight.

The ones you’re afraid to say because people might think you’re crazy.

The ones that just won’t leave you alone.

If that’s you…

We see you.
And we believe in your dream.

Own it.

Starting a business is literally a test of will. You put in all this work, pour your heart into it because you’re passionate in what you got into business for, and still, things don’t always go the way you planned. The results don’t show up as quickly as you’d hoped. The customers aren’t coming in like you thought they would. Progress feels slow, maybe even nonexistent.

It’s easy to get jaded, to think, ‘Maybe this isn’t for me.’ But let me remind you: this is part of the process. You may expect instant gratification (and wouldn’t that be nice). But growth takes time, and every successful business owner has faced moments like this.

Don’t let the lack of immediate results convince you to give up. Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep pushing forward. Stick to the plan you created before starting. The breakthrough might be closer than you think. 💪

“Stop comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20.”

It’s easier said than done, right? How many times have you looked at someone else’s success and felt like you’re falling behind? But here’s the truth: the brands and businesses you admire had messy, awkward, and confusing beginnings too. Everyone faces that wall of doubt they have to climb to grow into something greater.

The key is to embrace where you are right now and stay consistent. Celebrate the small wins—no matter how tiny they seem—because progress is progress. Every step forward adds up.

You’ll get there! One step at a time. It’ll all be worth it in the end. Keep going. You’re doing better than you think. 💛

💭 Feeling overwhelmed about growing your business? You’re not alone.

As a small business owner, the weight of all the questions that come from wearing so many hats can feel like too much sometimes:
❓ How do I replicate that one account’s success on Instagram?
❓ What do I post on social?
❓ Where do I even start?
❓ Why am I not getting more customers?
❓ How do I grow my business?

You’re not the only one wrestling with these thoughts, and here’s the good news: You don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Robin, we believe in making growing your business less intimidating and more achievable. One step at a time, we’ll help you turn that overwhelm into clarity and action.
