Youth, vision, and entrepreneurship collide in this inspiring conversation with Dylan Squire, the 18-year-old owner of The Squire After Dark. Recorded on location during a Vegan Community Cookout, this episode captures the remarkable story of how a family transformed a conventional office space into a vibrant community gathering place.

Dylan shares the origin story of The Squire, revealing how his mother first envisioned converting a space containing twelve individual insurance offices into something more meaningful—a venue where people could celebrate, connect, and create memories. What makes Dylan's journey exceptional is not just the business concept, but the profound trust his parents placed in him by transferring ownership at such a young age.

With wisdom beyond his years, Dylan expresses his genuine passion for service: "I love helping out people and I love seeing people's events come to life." His perspective on entrepreneurship focuses not on profit margins but on creating joy and facilitating meaningful experiences for others. Even as he acknowledges the inevitable challenges of business ownership, his optimistic outlook and go-with-the-flow attitude hint at the resilience that makes young entrepreneurs successful.

Whether you're a young person with entrepreneurial ambitions, a parent wondering how to nurture business-minded children, or someone interested in community space development, Dylan's story demonstrates that age is merely a number when vision, support, and passion align. Check out The Squire for your next event by visiting theSquireGroupAfterDark.com or their Facebook page, and witness firsthand how this teen entrepreneur is transforming his community one event at a time.

00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:02.363
I put my heart into it as well.

00:00:02.363 --> 00:00:07.474
I love helping out people and I love seeing people events come to life.

00:00:07.474 --> 00:00:10.521
So my mom and dad gave me ownership.

00:00:10.521 --> 00:00:14.823
Outro Music Welcome back, guys.

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:57.651
This is Experiencing Amazing Transformation and we are here at the Vegan Community event.

00:00:57.651 --> 00:01:05.147
It's the Vegan Community Cookout and we actually have Dylan here who is the owner of the Squire.

00:01:05.147 --> 00:01:07.406
So, dylan, welcome on.

00:01:07.406 --> 00:01:08.230
Thank you so much.

00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:10.121
Tell us, dylan.

00:01:10.121 --> 00:01:14.453
First tell us about yourself and how you obtained this place.

00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:17.209
So, like I said, I'm Dylan Squire.

00:01:17.209 --> 00:01:21.471
My mom actually has a vision of the Squire Cabezas.

00:01:21.471 --> 00:01:23.066
We're brand new.

00:01:23.066 --> 00:01:37.543
We have an insurance company on the other side and when we opened this the insurance company this was an office with 12 individual offices.

00:01:37.543 --> 00:01:43.649
So this wall was offices and then behind us was offices as well.

00:01:43.649 --> 00:01:59.531
My mom has the vision to make this into something where people can come and have a good time for birthdays, for anything, for events and nightstands, and then I put my heart into it as well.

00:01:59.531 --> 00:02:04.751
I love helping out people and I love seeing people events come to life.

00:02:04.751 --> 00:02:07.748
So my mom and dad gave me ownership.

00:02:08.783 --> 00:02:09.930
Oh my gosh.

00:02:09.930 --> 00:02:11.979
And if you don't mind me asking how old are you?

00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:13.104
I'm 18.

00:02:13.104 --> 00:02:19.365
Anything is possible y'all, anything is possible.

00:02:19.365 --> 00:02:24.943
Okay, so as an 18 year old, now the owner of the Squire, how does that make you feel?

00:02:25.503 --> 00:02:26.084
Amazing.

00:02:26.084 --> 00:02:34.651
I love seeing people be happy, love seeing people's events come to life, helping people.

00:02:35.131 --> 00:02:38.193
Yay, so how did this event come about?

00:02:38.834 --> 00:02:40.395
So I knew Linda.

00:02:40.395 --> 00:02:42.336
I actually reached out to her.

00:02:42.336 --> 00:02:43.676
We were planning some events.

00:02:43.676 --> 00:03:08.306
She asked me if she can use this just in case it rains.

00:03:08.306 --> 00:03:22.268
And, happy seeing all the great events, I haven't really experienced the downs yet since I'm new, but there's always downs in life and you just got to go with the flow.

00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:23.883
And you just gotta go with the flow.

00:03:23.883 --> 00:03:25.025
So, Dylan, how can?

00:03:25.025 --> 00:03:34.251
