Jon and Trina are Married in their hometown of Payson, Arizona with over 300 of their closest friends and family.

Trina is the only girl Jon has ever kissed!

Wyatt is now 4 years old and is diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. 

Our whole world changes. 

Medical payments will be more than our house and car payments now.

Every penny and all our credit is used to pay medical bills. (these bills will continue for the rest of his life)

We don't sleep but are up checking blood sugar every night.

"I can't afford to work a regular job anymore and I haven't slept enough to go to work anyway."

What are we going to do?

Jon gets the idea to build a business from home!  We flip through the phonebook to see what job we could do from home.

By running our own business, we get to keep the WHOLE profit from our work, not just an hourly wage. 

Instead of trading time for dollars, we can make money as often and as much as we want. 

Jon decides on photography and Arizona Photo Solutions is born.

Over the next few years we have to move into a bigger building and we grow to  one of the biggest photo studios in Arizona.

Both of Jon's parents die from cancer within 10 months of each other.

Our family is devistated.  With a 7 year old and a 2 year old we close the studio and move to Missouri for a fresh start.

We planned to start another photo business, but Jon's love for the camera has completely vanished.

With no idea what to do next, and no one to guide us, we spend the next 5 years and $500k (in credit card debt) searching for answers.

During the next 5 years, we become Masters of NLP, Communication Specalists, Mental Strength coaches, and discovered the secret to finding our True Value in the world.

But no matter what we learned or what we tried, something was always missing . . .

We had given everything we had to try and make our little family work. 

Now, out of money, out of time and Jon and Trina starting to fall OUT of love with each other, we knew it was time to face some hard decisions.

Still we didn't know how to make the kind of money we needed to, but we knew it was do or die time.

Something drastic was needed to save our marriage and our family.

We got on our knees and prayed that God would show us what to do with all the skills and talents we had collected over the last 20 years.  

The answer came loud and clear. Matthew 19:16-28 "Sell everything that you have and come and follow me."

"WHAT?  We thought we'd given everything!" "Now we were expected to give it all?"  

Yet neither of us could escape the thought that YES, WE'RE EXPECTED TO GIVE IT ALL.

So we called an estate sale company, sold all our dream home, our vehicles and all our worldly possessions, and donated the proceeds to our church.

We spent the next 3 years traveling in our 5th wheel.

We saw 38 states and 7 countries together in that time and we learned how to thrive as a family in only 200 square feet of living space.

We discovered our Master Purpose, which was so much more than "Husband" or "Mother" or "Provider. . ."  Suddenly, that "something missing" wasn't missing any more!

We learned how to easily make friends everywhere we go.

We even learned how to make big gobs of money with just a cellphone and a laptop from anywhere in the world.

During this time, Gunzel Family Brands is born. 

We dedicate our lives to helping families who are struggling to spend enough time together find new ways to create massive amounts of disposable income that allow them to focus on what matters most.   

We created our Stories To Success System that teaches anyone how to capture their value and deliver it to the world while finally getting paid what they're worth!

Since the creation of the Stories To Success System, we've helped hundreds of families to find more time together while making more money for themselves than ever before.

For each of them, it seemed totaly impossible at first.  But with some guidance and coaching, each one of them has found success in building a thriving business based on living their Master Purpose.

Families are growing closer together.  Parents are teaching their children how to create friendships and wealth everywhere they go.

Marriages are being strengthened and love is being renewed where all seemed lost.

Small businesses, started by Dads and Moms are making dramatic impacts and changing the world.

And WE ARE DOING IT ALL TOGETHER!
