Meet Andre Khrul | Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Andre Khrul and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andre, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Ever since I decided to become an entrepreneur, risk has always played a major part in my life. The key is to not focus on risk but to look ahead and believe in your idea and your business. My first business was a carpet cleaning business in Oregon, which I still run 17 years later. I remember 2 years into it, it wasn’t doing so well, I was out of money and close to just shutting the whole thing down. So I decided to put the last bit of my money into a new advertising idea. I did my research and dove right in and it worked. Now I have a new challenge with lots of risk and hopefully many reward to come.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My curse and a blessing is the fact I can’t turn off my brain. I am always thinking of business, always thinking opportunities. When we moved from Oregon to Texas, I realized what Texas is missing and that is a good Hawaiian style shaved ice place.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
After taking them to my shop, I’d most likely take them to a Dallas Cowboys football game, then maybe to the stockyards. The rest of the time i’d probably be working and let them explore on their own.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My brother is my business partner and I love how he balances me out. Together we make a great team. While many partnerships usually fail, ours is good because we both know each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
