I am a business owner & operator. I have been starting and running small businesses for almost 20 years. I love to create - products, content, strategies, stories, copy, you name it. After living in the trenches I have decided to tell my story; where I came from and where I am going. This blog will be the home for my written story. I will document, report, and tell it like it is. I hope I can impart some wisdom & inspiration with a little of what to do, how to do it, and some fun what not to do stories along the way. Join me on my journey and enjoy the ride!

Hi My Name is…


I am pretty sure you have figured it out, but if not I am Kevin. Who I am is not as important as what I am. The “what” I do is what will hopefully bring you value in some form or another. What that translates into for you is quite personal, and subjective I suppose.

So what am I? I am just a regular guy. You probably wouldn’t even notice me walking down the street. I am not fancy or flashy; I am a simple shorts and t-shirt guy; no fancy clothes or jewelry, just a watch and a wedding ring.

You might never know that I operate a business that helped make your travels happier, or another that made your morning magical. I might have even have made you look hip, slick, and cool some time ago. Why? Because I am not a rock star entrepreneur, I am just the entrepreneur next door.

I have been a small business owner – operator for almost two decades now and I have had the mindset and spirit for another two before. It is what I do – it is what fuels me, drives me, and keeps me starving for more. I simply can’t imagine doing anything else.

Well, maybe a few other things – like sharing my experience, my story, my successes, my failures, and most of all, my passions. All with the hope to help you start, continue, or finish your story.

With that said, welcome to my blog and latest adventure. Here I will share what has lead me here, what I am currently doing, and where I think I am heading, in real time as it unfolds. I am documenting, reporting, sharing, telling, teaching, learning, and hopefully entertaining too!

Welcome & Enjoy!



Welcome! Let The Leaping Begin!

Welcome to the LeapBlog! I am sure you are wondering who am I , what is The LeapBlog, and what is Leap272. You are probably even wondering why I am writing it. Let me try to answer.

I am sure you have learned by now that my name is Kevin Williams. I am a simple man with a complicated mind. I am have officially been a small business owner for over 25 years – if you want to count all the entrepreneurial activities from my childhood and teenage years, then add another 10 or so years to that.

Leap272 is my latest venture, if you will. It has a lot of moving parts and more will be revealed as I go. The LeapBlog is one component and will serve as the hub for all my written content. It is my documentation of what I am doing in Leap272 and the other operational businesses that I run. I am documenting the journey, transition, and intersection of my professional and personal life and activities…and I’m bringing you into the story. Looking back, access to something like this would have been very helpful when I was starting out – not to mention super interesting. I hope to impart some wisdom, some laughter, and some don’t do this at home stories…and a bunch of everything else in between.

I hope you find it interesting and somewhat educational – at least you will get to know the inner workings of my mind…no easy task! And, if this experiment becomes an exercise in futility, at least my kids will know a little bit more about what their dad did in the office all day…not to mention it keeps me honest and accountable!

I don’t always understand my mind so I am sure you won’t either. But it’s quite an adventure, so please, follow along and enjoy the ride.
