What happens when a death metal drummer trades in his drumsticks for a squeegee and ink? Join us as we sit down with Cohen DeYoung, the mastermind behind Pulse Merch, who made an extraordinary leap from life on the road to owning a thriving screen printing enterprise. Cohen shares his unique path, from crafting band merch by hand to making a major investment in machinery, navigating the tumultuous shift from the chaos of band life to a stable business endeavor. His story is not just about the journey of entrepreneurship but also about finding balance and purpose beyond the stage.
As we navigate this vibrant conversation, we reflect on the trials of entrepreneurship, especially during challenging times like the COVID pandemic. I share my personal journey of venturing into full-time business ownership, driven by the need to escape a perilous environment and prioritize mental well-being. Relocating to a tranquil small town brought both financial hurdles and creative opportunities, underscoring the power of resilience and ingenuity. This episode is a testament to the courage it takes to bet on oneself and the enduring client relationships that emerge from those leaps of faith.
We also touch on the delicate balance of family and business, particularly when parenting children with osteogenesis imperfecta. Through personal anecdotes, we discuss the emotional and logistical hurdles of raising children with brittle bone disease and the relief found in supportive communities and medical advancements. Our exchange highlights the importance of positivity and perseverance in the face of adversity, reminding us all to stay committed to our goals. Join us in celebrating the power of love, hustle, and a positive mindset in shaping both our personal and professional journeys.
