On this episode we sit down with Nick the owner of Iconic Arizona. A brand that has been built from the ground up. His story is unique. He literally went to the Grand Canyon on an anniversary trip and wanted a cool hat from the Grand Canyon. When he went to the Grand Canyon there were no cool hats. He found a cool patch, but not a ha. So he bought the patch and found a blank hat to put the patch on. That's when the light blub switched on. He thought to himself, "I can do this", and he did. He started to design patches and get his own hats that he liked and started selling them. 3 years later he has created a $500,000 in revenue company and on track to keep on doubling the size of his company for the 4th year. It's always incredible to see people take a thought and bring it to reality to create a life around it.

On this episode of Cheddar Chasers we sit down with Moe. Moe is the owner of Ambition Air Conditioning. Moe's story is different in that he doesn't aspire to be a TikTok star or an Instagram influencer or a Youtube creator. No. Moe at the young age of 28 wants to be the master of commercial HVAC and refrigerant equipment. We would consider Moe to be a lucky one. He knew from a young age that school just wasn't for him. He tried and tried, but it just wasn't cutting it. He then turned to the trades industry. He tested them all from plumbing, he doesn't like poop, to residential HVAC. After about 9 years of working his way up the ladder he finally knew what his calling was. To own his own business and put his talent to work. The most inspiring thing about Moe is his passion to be the best mechanical contractor he can be. He treats people with respect and he gets the respect back. That's all we can say with out spoiling this episode! Sit back and enjoy this episode!

Cheddar Chasers is a podcast all about exactly what the title says... CHASING the cheddar. But we as CHASERS aren't defined by the success. No, we are defined by how we LOVE to chase success. If it's starting a business, or starting a side hustle you are going to work your ass off and chase that next level of success. And what is success you may ask? That's a great question and that's what will be discussed with each of our guests because each and every one of us has a different view on what exactly success is.
