"Be completely present and conscious of what you're in." Evan Haskell is an entrepreneur, and Founder/CEO of the hospitality brand Urban Flat. But before building a multi-city, luxury housing company, Evan was class clown with a 2.3 gpa, with childhood dreams of being a firefighter.

He grew up in the hills of LA, a privileged area, and a different city experience, where coyotes roamed the streets, and stargazing was an nightly ritual. In his house, it was always family first. His brothers are his greatest gift, and his father is his biggest role model.

As a kid, Evan wasn't interested in the academic side of school, but rather sports and the social aspect. Moving from public school to private school was an uncomfortable challenge, and when it was time for college, Evan got rejected by almost every university he applied to. And although Evan was a star baseball player, a snowboarding accident threw a massive curveball in his path.

But it wasn't until his first year playing college baseball that Evan was faced with the reality that he wasn't good enough, and his baseball career was fading fast. That's when he asks himself..."Do I stay here, or do I change my life right here, right now." Taking the first step to a whole new life, Evan forced himself to fall in love with learning, set goals of getting straight A's, and finding a way out.

"There's no one path."

After transferring schools and graduating with a business degree from USC, then traveling Europe for two months, diving deep into self-discovery, Evan realized how free he was, and "life begins now."

This is a story of taking control, and creating the life you want. This is about believing in yourself, making mistakes, and persevering through them. This is about pain, and surviving the throws of being an entrepreneur, while finding peace and balance. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Evan Haskell. #MamaWeMadeIt
