I take my family serious. Being an only child I hold my bonds thicker than blood. My brother rather than be born with me earned his title. I come from a weird state of mind, bonds are thicker than blood. Much like my circle would do for me, I protect it with all my might. My circle is tough like the strongest medal, what’s within has no worries. On one side we are designer, on the other we are The Vintage Frames Company. My circle never judges, it accept and supports. My circle is different, it varies from each of our upbringings. My circle is complete, only by the joining of hands. Anything worth doing, is worth doing with meaning. I don’t believe in creating for the sake of creation. Anyone can do, few can do with a purpose. As my circle heads to Japan we bring new members to our shape. With the induction of our Japanese family from @petz_666 (Junkmania) we bring forth a gesture of family. Our Power Circle pendent is about honor, not only for those who are part of us, but for those who believe in their own circle. While I see many social climb, often they forget to see the latter is already within. You can never be to careful who you choose. You can never be to careful who you put on. Triangles create pyramid like philosophy’s . A circle shows you are complete. It’s #tuesday and I’m about to spend my birthday on an 22 hour flight and my Japanese fam better have some fucking sake waiting at the gate. Squares have corners, who the fuck put them on edge. Triangles have always have one on top, who the fuck died and made them king. A circle showcases union, without that, it can never claim that shape. Think about life with the simplicity of shapes, you can solve any problems by simply trying to relate. #morninginspiration #vintageframes

What i teach my son is that we are all little fish in a big sea. Life is a two way street. People go one way, others go the other. What makes us more complete as a people is how we co-exist. In business, teams are made up of many different minds. Ideas ultimately clash, but it’s that respect for other people’s opinions that create a united front. You may not share the opinion of others, but they have the right to have it. Every single one of us has the chance to own our choices. Some are straight up about it, others lack communication skills. On this two way street of life, we can either get into that lane, or drive quickly past. There is nothing more honest then people who are upfront and own their feelings. Right or wrong, everyone is entitled to their own. If someone dictates how they would like to be treated straight up, who the fuck are we to do otherwise. You may not have to accept it, but you should never judge it. The best businessmen listens, respects, and works around. Some of the greatest powerhouses I know have the most radical requests. What makes them powerhouses is that they own their choices and are comfortable and straight up about them without inflicting them onto others. It’s #fridayand if you can’t accept who I am, take the other road and fucking drive past. Life is a two way street it is your right to live within your lane. If you really believe in something, own it. If you really have a hard time with something, stand up for what you believe in. You can’t stop people from being who they are, but you damn right can be vocal about your policies. Just because you listen and respect, doesn’t mean you compromise. #morninginspiration#vintageframes

Business is about the ups and downs of the journey. Entrepreneurship is about having the stomach to digest the ups and downs. Life comes in waves, the question you need to ask yourself is if you’re ready to ride! Before starting any business the optimists look at the good, the realists examine the bad. Admitting to yourself wether you are capable of handling the pressure has no shame, it shows intellect. More businesses would succeed if people stopped hiding their head. Anticipating an issue but hoping it doesn’t arise is no way to roll. Standing there and resolving it head on is. Through any bad, comes good, the key is sticking it out long enough to see the light. When the fog clears, it will be your logo shining in the dark of the night. It’s #thursday and after every storm you will see our fucking logo shinny bright in the fog of the night. Be prepared for anything you in engage in. There is no shame in evaluating a situation and realizing its not for you. There is no shame in loosing after an attempt. There is shame when you can’t honestly say you have it your all! Even in the darkest of situations, you have the chance to shine bright.#morninginspiration #vintageframes

When I was young I got into a big bike accident. At a young age if it was up to me I would have never gotten back on my bike. With battle scars, a busted tooth, and a fat lip I had called it quits. After my accident most people would have taught me how to be more stable on the bike, I was taught how to recover. As a father I pick and choose what I wish to bestow on my son. Life lessons are passed down not to avoid my mistakes I’ve made in the past, but how to recover from his own. Life is a bumpy road and he will fall, it’s how he gets back up that counts. I know kids who’s parents would have put them in extra pads after an accident, mine taught me to stand right back up. Agility and determination outweigh smarts any day. Some of the smartest people I know do fuck all with their lives. As it starts to get to be the time to teach my son how to ride a bike I wonder what approach I’m going to take. To me, the way I teach him to ride a bike will ultimately determine many things in his life. I want him to learn to bike, but not rely on me constantly holding his seat. I want him to be safe, but never be afraid to fall. I want him to be cautious of the world around him, but never scared to ride into the unknown. Scars heal, life goes on, there is always another road. Much like riding a bike, never be scared to get back up after falling. The most interesting people in life are probably the people that fell the most. Without learning how to fall, how could you ever expect to know how to stand. It’s#Wednesday and even though I fell yesterday, I’m standing on my two feet ready to fucking try again. Bruised, scrapped, and tired we live to bike another road. Agility will always be your greatest asset. The finesse of the fall will always be your greatest strength. The difference between a winner and a looser is that a winner knows how to loose.#morninginspiration #vintageframes
