The year of initiative. XYNN advanced further in 2018. It started with a rigorous tour around the United States with Booking. Then those approved FAA airspace authorizations prompted the big move to New York where Dinero enjoyed an aerial staycation.

Oh yea… and in between all of this growth, there was Indonesia. A journey through the rainforests of Jantho and Bukit Lawang that recapitulated issues faced by the endangered Sumatran orangutan as well as the significance of immaterialism in one’s life.

Forever never stop. XYNN continues to create and capture value through Story. A passport with more tattoos than Travis Barker. A looping playlist of Sabrina Claudio. Dinero, you may have to share the spotlight with a new sibling. Say it with me: another one.



The Indo fam. A team of relentless individuals committed to increasing

awareness and inspiring action to ensure the Sumatran orangutan thrives.



The happy ending. Experiencing these rescued orangutans receiving care

and treatment at a quarantine station in Batu Mbelin, just outside Medan.



Some orangutans are severely malnourished while held illegally as pets.

Others are injured after confrontations with palm oil plantation workers.



Katie walks the grounds of the station with a quarantine staff. Under

medical masks, they discuss the case of one orangutan with paralysis.



Quarantine prepares orangutans for reintroduction to the wild. Hundreds

have been successfully released. Here is how to help continue the mission.



Afterthoughts

Imagine speaking at an institution and being asked to share advice on starting a business. I would decisively respond, “Never start a business.” XYNN launched in 2009. If someone had told me in 2008 everything to be afraid of, XYNN would not exist.

There is no advice to give when deciding to take control of one’s destiny by becoming an entrepreneur. You will have the answers needed within the first 30 days. This game is not for everyone. Just ask those who work to grow other people’s businesses.

XYNN has been my life circa 10 years. I knew before it even began that it was right for me. To travel globally while evolving at this creative craft and recognizing there is no finish line in business is what drives XYNN to forever never stop. 2019, how you doin’?
