EVER SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD, I KNEW I WANTED TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR.

I made no little plans. Both success and failure shaped me. I learned from my mistakes. I had big dreams.

Here is my story.

MY DAD

The Egan family history

He would tell stories of his first business selling coconuts on the side US1 in Florida, his teenage years guerilla marketing for Storybook Gardens, the family owned amusement park in Wisconsin Dells, and his early days working for John MacArthur where he was able to strike a deal for the right of first refusal to acquire Alamo.

RARE AIR

Designing a roof for the Miami Dolphins stadium

My first big idea came to me while I was watching a Miami Dolphins NFL game from the stands. I was 16 years old in 2005. As many South Floridians know, sunny weather can turn to heavy rain in the blink of an eye. I was at the game with my cousin Lenny Beir, and all of a sudden we were drenched. The game had to be stopped and tons of people started leaving. I thought to myself, what opportunity cost of lost revenue.
