Oilpatch Love!

Currently, I work out in the oil patch and my time takes me away from home.  I am choosing to work out here for the time being so that I have the finances to fuel my passion.

At first, I had some big hesitations about letting my co-workers know what I was up to and I didn’t want to feel like anyone else was going to squash my dream.  So, I kept things hidden and worked in silence on building up DannyBoy.  Deep down, I wanted to let everyone know what I was doing.

One day, I had worn one of my hats to work.  It was a light camo hat with white embroidery and had gotten asked where I picked the hat up from.  Due to the beliefs and guardians I have created over the years, my wall went up.  I was terrified that they would laugh at me or tell me my dream and journey was stupid.  Initially, I just said that it was my hat that I had gotten done up just for fun.

As time went on and I explained to people what the mission of DannyBoy is, I gained more and more support.  People were asking for stickers and how they can get their hands on a hat as they really liked how the logo looked.

Yes, we had a few laughs over the fact that the logo has a certain look to it.

These guys I work with all grabbed hats and sent me a picture right before Christmas.  They even took it up a step and gave me their own take on a DannyBoy sign.

I am extremely grateful for the support I have received with building this brand.
