Hi! my name is Evan and I'm super stoked you want to learn more about me!

I show people how to build their businesses. I learn a skill, test it with my own companies and share it!

I got my start by selling CDs at 13 years old. I’ve worked as a fry cook, I’ve mowed lawns, built go-peds, managed restaurants, sold mortgages, worked in Hollywood, and sat at a desk. I’ve cold-called, done graphic design, pounded pavement, traded crypto, and worked on an ambulance.

I finally settled down and devoted my life to becoming a firefighter in my early 20’s. It took me 5 years of training, fire academies, and paramedic school to finally land that job.

I spent 8 years of my life answering 911 calls. Now I get to pursue my real passion, which is building businesses and educating.

My first successful company is called Scorch Marker.

I was building a commemorative plaque for the fire department in my woodshop and desperately wanted to burn our motto “together in, together out” into the wood. So I pulled out my wood-burning tool, plugged it into the wall, and screwed the whole thing up!

But my wife and I had found another way. We created a chemical solution that reacts with heat. We were inspired by YouTube creators! You apply the liquid to wood, apply heat, and the wood burns only where you drew! Pretty cool right? We invented the world’s first wood-burning marker – Scorch Marker.

Little did we know that this was the beginning of something big. We agreed to spend $500 of our savings to see if we could turn the idea into a product. 2 years later and we got into retail, became a bestseller on Amazon, created jobs, and made a lot of mistakes.

It’s the mistakes that are important. Those are the valuable, teachable moments that doers get to enjoy and learn from. They make you stronger.

Building, maintaining, scaling, running, or managing a business is not easy. But it can be done!

That's why I'm here. To teach what I've learned so you don't have to make the same mistakes that I did!

I talk about 3 main things:

Business
Finance
Cryptocurrency

Can't wait to hear from you!

Vanader!!! Bro thank you sooo much. Excellent video. I’m the super early stages of setting up a business and this video helped a lot!

[ajinse]

Hey love your videos and learning so much👊🏾 I wanted to ask if you could talk about how to get a business loan and the steps and actions to take?

[sohailahmad]

Hi Vanader, thanks so much for the video. I have a question regarding mixing of personal funds withs business funds. I bought or out a down payment on my first product for Amazon and some other expense before i officially had the LLC and ein and bank account opened. Is this an issue? Is it better to not use those expenses when I file my return in order to avoid mixing the funds? I mean I had to spend money somehow to get started before LLC was formed. Thanks in advance for your help, I am subscribed!

What are your thoughts on opening a business bank account with Experian?

[Nolongeruse]

Question 🙋🏾‍♀️

For the operating agreement, does it need to be notorized?

[marinamartinovic]

Do you have any thoughts about citi bank for business?

[daphotography]

I recently went to my local credit union to open up an account and they required an operating agreement on top of the articles of organization and the EIN. Might be different for other banks.

[PathologicallySane]

What if your side hustle only makes a few hundred a month? Should someone still file an LLC?

[edjma]

Why do you prefer local credit union vs chase?

[alexortiz]

Quick question?
Can I form LLC without ssn or itin number,
I'm living in CA and I want to start a window tinting business,

[itsmasterhogan]

Thank you sir! I bank personally with Chase and have forever. I have a local branch in my small town and know most all the employees. Any reason to choose a credit union over Chase?

[rosamarie]

Why do you say not to use Wells Fargo? I just asked a friend what business bank they recommend and they said Wells Fargo 😂 idk

[toenibbler]

Lol "don't use wells fargo"

Me with my checking, saving, and credit account at wells Fargo 🥴
