I thought I was making a post about how KRAPOW came to be.
But looking through all these old photos, I realized I was really looking at all the people who carried us here.
And somehow, when I look back, I donโt remember the struggle first.
I remember the people who showed up.
The family and friends who worked beside us, filled our cups, believed in us, and reminded us that everything was going to be okay.
Hannah, Justin & Belle, Michelle & Justin, Dash โ so much of what people see and love in KRAPOW today carries pieces of you.
To every friend, family member, collaborator, and past and present team member โ thank you. There are so many people whose part in this story deserves more than an Instagram caption, and I hope I get the chance to thank each of you personally.
RODEO โ thank you for giving KRAPOW a place to grow into itself.
And to our SUPERFANSโฆ
You are the reason we are still here.
You came back. You brought your people. You tried our crazy ideas. You loved our little bear. You believed in what we were building.
Looking back now, I just feel incredibly lucky.
This was never only our story.
It belongs to all of you too.
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for filling our cups.
Thank you for being part of what comes next.
The adventure is just beginning.
Adventure Awaits โค๏ธ๐ป
