In this episode of Gas Money Mentions, Robert and Austin host Dawson Carpenter, who is the founder and owner of Icon Detailers LLC in Fenton, Michigan. Over the past two years, Dawson has transformed his car detailing business from a very basic side hustle to a well-developed detailing company that specializes in interior/exterior detailing, paint enhancement, ceramic and paint protection film (PPF) coating, and vinyl wrapping. In addition to detailing the standard array of family SUVs and daily drivers, Icon Detailers also accommodates high-end vehicles that require specialized care and expertise. At the young age of 22, Dawson has learned many lessons along his journey with his startup. After struggling with addiction and bouncing between jobs just out of high school, he used these setbacks as a wake up call to transform his mindset and reshape his life goals. In addition to describing the importance of manifestation and passion, Dawson explains the dangers of becoming too comfortable with an unproductive lifestyle and highlights the opportunity for success without needing a college degree. In this inspiring episode, Dawson proves that even the largest mistakes can lead to the greatest successes as long as they are learned from.

Flipsity is a location-based social app that allows its users to post photos or captions that stay active for 24 hours. Its location and boosting features make it unique compared to others, allowing you to see everything that is happening within your community in the moment. Carter went to high school with Robert and Austin (Davison High School, MI), and although they knew of each other in high school, they never really got to know one another. Two years after graduation and a week prior to launching the Gas Money App, Robert and Austin saw Carter post about his new app, Flipsity, on LinkedIn, and they immediately reached out to connect with Carter. After having an initial conversation, they found many powerful similarities with their journeys with app development and decided to invite Carter on the podcast. In this episode, Robert and Austin interview Carter about his journey with Flipsity and how he started his own tech company at such a young age. In addition to providing valuable advice about communication, self-discipline, and positivity, Carter lays out his goals for the near future with hopes of making a strong difference in his community and our society.

In this panel-style discussion hosted by Daden LLC, Gas Money co-founders Robert Walker and Austin Pariseau discuss their entrepreneurial journey, challenges, successes, and future roadmap for their newly released Gas Money App. Gas Money is a platform that enables clients to find and hire young adults in their area for the completion of home- and yard-based services. These services include jobs such as lawn mowing, landscaping, and car washing, to name a few, but our goal is to eventually accommodate any service that can be completed by a high school or college student. Unlike other gig-based platforms, Gas Money is fully student-led, and all contractors that offer services on the Gas Money App are 16-24 years old. Gas Money contractors can create their own schedules and communicate directly with clients through the app, and they also have the ability to collaborate with other contractors in their area. The Gas Money App is completely free to use, and it generates revenue on a commission-based model from completed jobs. Our mission is to provide young adults with the opportunity to become their own boss and develop real-world skills in communication, leadership, and accountability. Gas Money is more than just a service platform: we are the workforce of the future.
