009: Building a Business as a Ministry with Skate Park Owner Kim D’Arezzo

June 02, 2017

In 2012, Kim D’Arezzo and her husband Brian bought an indoor skate Park in Queen Creek, Arizona.  Today it's a hot spot for famous YouTubers and scooter enthusiasts looking for a wholesome environment.

The funny thing is Kim and Brian take NO MONEY out of the business. It is their ministry which they have used to train their children—Kaylee, Justin and Jacob—to be skilled, responsible and proactive business owners, and where they continue to train other teens to do the same.

Now if you're a parent of a scooter fanatic, ask them if they know who Jacob D'Arezzo is. (He's legitimately famous in the scooter world.) If they do, tell them you're about to listen to an interview with his mom.
