We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jon & Paxtyn Padilla. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jon & Paxtyn below.
Jon & Paxtyn, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. So, what do you think about family businesses? Would you want your children or other family members to one day join your business?
We cherish the role of being business owners and the entrepreneurial spirit that comes with it. It’s a journey we find immensely fulfilling, and as we contemplate the idea of our kids joining the business, we’ve given it considerable thought. While we’re open to the idea, our foremost concern is ensuring that our children don’t feel obligated or pressured by our career goals. We firmly believe in cultivating an environment that nurtures their individual passions and interests.
Our priority is to be a source of support as they discover their own paths and pursue what truly ignites their hearts. We want to instill in them the value of authenticity and the courage to go all in on whatever endeavors resonate most with their aspirations. The beauty of their journey lies in the freedom to explore and find fulfillment in pursuits that align with their unique talents and passions. As parents, we aim to provide guidance and encouragement, fostering an environment where they feel empowered to follow their dreams, even if those dreams lead them down different paths than our own.
Our missionary background has a profound impact on how we approach business. Our mission has always been about discipling the next generation and spreading the message of Jesus. We used to be missionaries at our church, and our passion for serving people is at the core of everything we do.
Running a business allows us to keep pouring into our middle school ministry and elementary kids. It’s a way for us to integrate our values and mission into our daily work. We firmly believe that making a positive impact extends beyond our church activities and should be an integral part of our business endeavors.
Flexibility is a game-changer for us. As we look ahead to having our own kids, we want the freedom in our schedule to be present with our family. It’s about finding that balance between our business and our commitment to what matters most to us – our family and the values we hold dear.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

We understand that a wedding isn’t just an event; it’s a deeply personal and emotional journey. Therefore, our mission is to elevate that journey, ensuring that every interaction, from our initial conversation to the delivery of the final video, is above and beyond awesome.
We begin by placing a premium on understanding the unique story of each couple we work with.

Can you open up about how you funded your business?
Absolutely, the journey to fund our business, especially in the early stages, was a bit of a rollercoaster. When we embarked on starting our own business, securing the initial capital required a combination of determination, resourcefulness, and, well, a lot of hustle.
In the beginning, we found ourselves wearing multiple hats – not just as business owners but also taking on additional jobs outside of our entrepreneurial venture. We recognized the need to go above and beyond our regular work hours, often putting in extra time and effort to generate the funds necessary to fuel our business aspirations.
It wasn’t a conventional path, and we quickly realized that the entrepreneurial road requires a unique level of dedication and commitment. Balancing multiple jobs while laying the groundwork for our business demanded a significant investment of time and energy. There were moments of exhaustion, no doubt, but the passion for our business vision fueled our determination.
What became clear to us through this process is that entrepreneurship and the path to funding a business aren’t for everyone. It’s a journey that demands resilience, a willingness to embrace challenges, and the ability to navigate the uncertainties that come with building something from the ground up.
The sacrifices we made during those initial phases were undoubtedly challenging, but they laid the foundation for our business. It taught us the value of hard work, adaptability, and the importance of a steadfast commitment to our goals.
Looking back, while it may not be the traditional route, it’s a story that underscores the reality of entrepreneurship – a journey that often requires going above and beyond, both within and outside regular work hours, to turn dreams into reality.
