URBNokanagan had a growth spurt!!
We know that there has been essentially radio silence from our little corner of the business community but it was for good reason.
As of April 3rd our company took a giant leap forward in faith and dropped the real estate aspect of the business.
An opportunity to widen our scope and make an impact on a far greater scale has been the theme of 8+ years of prayers and meditations. We have been steadily taking steps as they were reviled and although it arrived far sooner than anticipated we were ecstatic to be faced with a full dialogue on where URBN should go as a company, identity, and brand.
We tried every opportunity as it presented itself along the way and this had us in many different roles wearing many different hats to arrive at this place (branding pun intended😉).
Thanks to an extremely supportive crew we were some how able to make it through if only by the grace of God.
So here we are now. A place that I thought was 10-15 years more down the road. Feeling unprepared and under equipped to lead through an uncertain path I’ve never travelled, yet know it’s terrain like the back of my hand.
In my journey I needed guidance and didn’t know what to expect of the conditions I found myself in. It’s a void I found very impactful in all the wrong ways but also the catalyst of inspiration to help others facing similar mountains to not only climb, but conquer the obstacles they come up against:
Facing mental health and wellness issues (with a focus on men and the various roles we fill), a formula for a lasting and fulfilling future, and mentorship of our next generations business leaders. You know, just the small things!
Now, I also know this is just a tiny part of the whole picture and I’m still not entirely sure what that will even end up being. Each time I think I see the ceiling of possibility it gets lifted higher and higher.
Long story short URBNokanagan is no longer a real estate group.
We are a deeply faith based company carving out our own market and taking on a challenge far greater than our ability. But if you know us at all you’ll know we don’t dream small so here we go!
