Dads On the run. No wife, no kids. Just an RV and a dream.
Could this really work? See below.
Could this really work? See below.
This started with a simple conversation: four dads, a Chiefs game, and the realization that life is too short to settle for routine.
Out of that night came a decision.
One that may sound reckless, but we believe is transformational.
We leverage equity.
We secure funding.
We buy a Leisure Travel Vans Unity RV, not as a toy, but as a tool.
And then, we leave it all behind for 30 days.
We call it Dads on the Run.
Ok hear me out on this.
Step 1: We use half my equity in my company as collateral for a $400k bank loan.
With which we buy a bad-ass RV to live in.
We move in.
Forget houses.
Forget mortgages.
Step 2: We spawn into digital nomads but with more beef jerky and fewer showers.
We livestream EVERYTHING.
Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, maybe even MySpace for the nostalgia clicks.
Family FaceTimes are broadcast like press conferences: "Yes honey, we are still alive. No honey, the raccoon is not technically in charge of the group."
People lose their MINDS.
Step 3: Millions start following.
Our location is always top-secret.
One day a Walmart parking lot. Next day Yosemite. Next day, Applebee's.
Step 4: Then, sponsors line up. Yeti, Doritos, Charmin Ultra.
Talk show invites pour in: "Coming up after the break... four dads who mortgaged their sanity and possibly marriages for WiFi on wheels..."
Step 5: The money rains down like confetti.
We send home the cash to our wives, framed like ransom payments but with love notes attached:
"Dear babe, thanks for letting me temporarily abandon all responsibilities. Here's a sack of brand deal money to say thanks."
Boom. That's the business plan.
The moment you decide to rise from your natural habitat, like a majestic walrus discovering land, you will drive straight to an RV dealership.
Like a possessed suburban zombie.
You don’t even browse.
You don’t test drive.
You don’t ask about gas mileage.
You just point to the RV that speaks to you and sign the papers.
Then you vanish.
Into the wilderness.
Into glory.
TEMPORARILY.
I repeat: TEMPORARILY.
And for the love of your family, make this VERY clear...
Look your wife in the eyes. Gently pat your children on the heads.
Announce:
“Daddy is not abandoning you. Daddy is… researching freedom.
Because this whole thing? This isn’t for me. No. This is for US."
For their future.
For their bedtime stories.
For the day they brag to their friends:
“My dad didn’t just buy an RV. He became one.”
We promised our families we’d return after 30 days.
No matter how big this grows, no matter what doors open, we will come home.
Because this was never about running away, it’s about running toward a life with more courage, connection, and purpose.
Theodore Roosevelt
