Starting a business and becoming a Dad || SpeakReel AsmblyHall || San Francisco

Asmbly Hall is a DOPE clothing outfit in the fast-paced Pacific Heights/Japantown area of San Francisco. Ron and Tricia are both extremely passionate about their store and they bring their own unique flavor to the streetwear world. Think "Sophisticated Prepster ": a style that is trendy, contemporary, casual, and professional. I love the store and I love a power couple that goes all-in on a dream. 

I was driving around San Francisco and I heard the music playing from outside and I immediately pulled over. Make sure you check out The Gemstone Band! A funky up and coming music group in San Francisco. I was very fortunate to have been able to cover their 3 year anniversary celebration and to have a passionate conversation with Ron about what is important to him: his business, his family, and becoming a Dad. Its a such a blessing that Ron and Tricia decided to follow their dreams for they are giving back to the world in a major way

Also, a big shoutout to Ron and Tricia for supporting local artists and getting me some fresh gear/keeping me warm as I travel to Seattle, Los Angeles, and Nicaragua :wink wink nudge nudge: (Hey, I'm just saying though, I'd love to represent for your brand)

Transcript:
We've been married for 5 years, we've had the shop for 3. This is something we wanted to do before we had children and to really chase a dream that we're both very passionate about. My wife comes from a entrepreneurial family and she's always had that fire in her and if she didn't light it under me, I probably wouldn't have done it. We decided to really chase our dreams and focus on this before we wanted to settle down for a different responsibility. And now that I feel that we have this under our belt and know what we're doing, we're ready for that next step. That next step is lets start a family and see what we can do to continue on the line. Its a scary thing, its exciting. Fatherhood is unpredictable, but its a challenge and a responsibility that I'm willing to take on and look forward to. Do we want them to be a part of the shop? Of course we do, but we also want them to follow their dreams too. Its a blessing all in one. Couldn't be more excited, couldn't be more scared, so many mixed emotions, becoming a parent and becoming a father. You want to do the best that you can do and be the best that you can be, but at the end of the day, you do everything for them, and they're the ultimate joy that you bring to this world.
