There’s a new Kickstarter project that I’d like to call out for some attention: The Padron Watch Company.
Leo, the guy Kickstarting his business, is someone I’ve known for 10 years now. I really admire how he’s taken a passion – restoring old watches – and turned it from a hobby into a business. And now he wants to take it to the next level.
People talk a lot today about where all the jobs in middle America are going. Talking is easy. Starting a business – and who knows, maybe someday creating some good new jobs – is a lot harder. I have a lot of admiration for Leo and what he is doing. And especially that he’s choosing to follow his passion for craftsmanship and creating not just another Internet site or mobile app, but something far more tangible and lasting.
I know not everyone who reads this is a watch fan, and may not feel inspired to contribute to his Kickstarter project. But if you have a friend who might want to contribute, would you please pass the link along?
And if you do contribute, you’ll be supporting someone who is going to work as hard as he can to see the project through.
Please consider helping out in any way you can.
Thanks!
