BLOG POST: Maverick Made
To be writing this blog post right now is something that brings me great joy. Back in April of 2018 I was connected to the legend Rosario Smirne & hard-hitting brand Quit Bitching Coalition aka QBC through a great friend and a legend in his own right, Mike Rogachevsky.
I was instantly inspired by what Rosario had built, the product, the community… the entire experience. From the first moment of speaking to Rosario, hearing his passion for the work that he did, I knew I had to be a part of it… somehow… some way.
…then I went to the OLD QBC site & was almost instantly like WTF am I Iooking at. This strong leader, with a powerhouse brand… lost me within 5 seconds of opening the site. The website didn’t convey to me, what I knew to be true.
QBC = BADASSNESS
It took nearly 16 months of, almost “pestering” Rosario…. (I could show you the text message & IG DM threads, but I’ll save you the time) to get him to take the leap and trust me to bring his massive vision to life BUT it happened & here we are…
The launch of the new chapter in the QBC story.
I am blessed to call Rosario, a friend & brother in(entrepreneurial) arms. I have seen him grow so much, not only as a person but also as the leader of a deeply-inspiring community of mavericks. He has poured his heart and soul into this brand. This new site is the culmination of 16+months, hundreds of messages, hours of phone calls & zoom meetings, and ultimately two creative guys coming together (with some help from Mike R. & Disco) to make something really fucking spectacular.
We hope you enjoy.
We made this for you.
If you have any questions about the site, contact Rosario (via any of the contact forms on this site) or feel free to email me directly at ryan@wethecollective.co we want to hear ALL THE FEEDBACK.
