In this episode, we sit down with Paul Domish, founder of Drifter Vans, a company specializing in custom van builds for travelers seeking freedom and comfort. Before scaling his business to multi-millions in revenue, Paul faced multiple failed ventures, the challenges of the 2008 financial crisis, and personal struggles that reshaped his outlook on business and life. His journey from general contracting in Florida to exploring South America played a key role in shaping his entrepreneurial mindset.

Paul shares how he bootstrapped Drifter Vans from a small sub-leased space to a thriving operation, selling 16 vans before even building one. He discusses the van life movement, the importance of efficiency, scaling without investors, and what sets his company apart. We also dive into his thoughts on resilience, starting small, and his next potential venture in Bolivia. This episode is packed with valuable insights for entrepreneurs looking to build something from the ground up.
