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

Hi Fabio, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My reason for starting my own business is due to a few facts and the biggest one being that I value freedom! I simply hate being trapped in an office for 8 to 9 hours a day. I am also not a very politically correct person and the whole corporation concept makes me very uneasy, especially now-a-days with all the nonsense going on Freedom is more important to me than money.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
That’s just the thing! I am not anyone that is more special than someone else. You have to first be willing to put in the time, effort, money and frankly, be a little crazy. Having your own business is not easy. You are the first one in, last one out, last one to get paid and when #%&! hits the fan, you take all the blame but when things go well, it’s because of your team.

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?
It depends of the time of the year but there is just so much to see in Dallas. For sure we would go to where President JFK was assassinated and the museum there. Ft. Worth Stockyards, The Star, a Dallas Cowboys Game and a Dallas Mavs game. As far as food is concerned, there are just so many great places that it’s hard to pin point just one, but for sure, Texas BBQ, after that’s taken care of, the rest is gravy.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My wife is my biggest fan, supporter and is always up for the task. She always supports me no mater how crazy and challenging the idea may be. Don’t get me wrong, if she feels like something is not making sense, she’ll let me know. God has given me the most amazing woman a man can ask for.
