We had the good fortune of connecting with Aaron Cummins and Emily Duke and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Aaron & Emily, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
There is no crossing into the entrepreneurial world without coming face-to-face with risk. From the moment we began this journey, we knew that if we could shift risk to a more analytical perspective, better known as taking calculated risks, we would have a better shot at success. Not only did we take a risk in betting on ourselves and our vision, but we also took a huge risk in choosing to build our company slowly and with intentionality. We knew that to find the level of success we were seeking, we needed to be in it for the long haul. Rather than selling out for quick, cheap growth, we took years to thoughtfully create every aspect of the company and best position ourselves for long-term success. In an industry that’s traditionally all about numbers and quick growth, our approach was a huge risk that, if successful, we knew would be worth the reward.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We have created a blog around this very thing. Visit our website to read more about many of the great neighborhoods in the area, along with some fun places to check out in each location. We believe in living an inspired life, so the ideal trip would be dependent upon the visitor. That said, a few fun places to check out are Tennyson Street near the Berkeley neighborhood, RiNo graffiti, Historic Downtown Littleton, the Cherry Creek/Wash Park area, and of course, the quintessential drive through our beautiful mountains!
