 I'm Kyle Goodwin...I started this brand for a reason, a few reasons, and reasons that keep forming.  First, I found success as a professional artist...I did this all on my own, my rules..no help from others, then by way of natural disasters(home and studio being flooded by hurricanes...twice!), personal issues(most notably a relationship falling apart/losing someone very close), and my own self destructive powers...I lost almost all I had gained. I reclaimed debt, stress, wondering who and what I'm doing with my life...but out of all this it became clear my mission in life..to become more successful, build a better world around me so I can do more for others less fortunate. No matter what happens I am an incredibly lucky human...hell, I'm a 6'4 white guy in America...need I say more??!!   No matter what happens I will be able to survive and as long as I have some food and water then things are OK. Not everyone can live life so easily, not all get the same chances, so I volunteer with disabled people. I created an art program for foster kids, and all this will grow with the brand and my successes.  I want to help others think outside societies rules...be who THEY want to be. Not who parents, teachers, society tells them to be...what makes YOU happy??   I've made 6 figures as an artist....as a freaking artist!! How many people work for 4 weeks then leave the country for 6 weeks? Not many. I have the toys, the freedom I dreamed of, but you know what? I achieved something I didn't know I could, but I wasn't yet "happy"...something wasn't fulfilled.  I dropped a few big clients, started making less money but I had even more time to be with others....
  I'm now rebuilding my art business, plus this brand, all while volunteering with people that don't have my abilities..this makes me happy...I'm having a positive impact.  I have a few other business things in the works as well...my goal??  Make a larger amount of money...for toys? Travel? Big house?  No...of course some of those things make life fun, but the main root is to expand the positive impact....our world is screwed up and it hurts me!   I'm tired of fake people, tired of the idea in the US you're only valuable if you have the BMW and $80,000 debt....the US is the most anxious/anxiety riddled country in the world, yet we do the most for "mindfulness", and meditation...but do most of these people even know what makes them happy? Deep down....would she rather sell knitted socks living in the country rather than be a lawyer representing murderers but making $250K?  Would he rather live at the beach bartending instead of the corporate job in NYC so he can afford the Ferrari and appeal to shallow women?  Who are YOU?? What makes you want to LIVE??
  I spend a lot of time reading, talking, listening...thinking!!  I don't have a damn thing figured out cuz I'm always learning, but I feel more in tune than I ever have..especially after going so low in depression, drinking, drugs to ignore the pain of loss....from that darkness I grabbed onto a beam of hope...for my future being bigger, more bad ass than ever...AND...to make others happier, show them they can do what they want, experiences, joys.....
  This brand has started a whole new, exciting ride...and it's just beginning.
Whatever I post here is ME...I don't hide my opinions....I don't know how to be anything but ME. 
  Think for YOURSELF!  I recently quit yoga after trying for a year...why?  My opinion is it's a place of conformity....this drives me nuts!   I can't be told to "release your pains today", then go right into a pose...did anyone tell anyone in their how to "release"??!! Or is everyone just suppressing their real emotions?   This is an example of how I think and what my discourse will be.....GENUINE thoughts.  My own opinions that I come to by way of thinking(sometimes too much), but at least I say what I feel...and...I fucking care!  I want you to be happy..because this serves me as well..if people around me are happy, then I am happier too. Yes, it's philanthropic, but there is a tad bit of self service in doing good things for others...but we all win!
  "By making others feel good we ultimately feel better within"---Kyle

I will be using this as an area to speak, as well show who is on board, the great people I meet and am involved with.  I hope to see this grow and hear from others..make friends, make loves, make joy....

The idea behind Perfect for Awesomeness is supporting the idea of being the best version of yourself and doing the best at the things you’re passionate about, whatever that may be. And the bearded guy @the_garnishguy is doing just that as one of the best, most creative and fun bartenders I’ve known, so I’m extra excited he’s going to share his skills with an amazing event coming up for this brand. YEAH...the future is bright!!!□ go check out his page and the skills this genius has and stay tuned for new and amazing things happening.

Sometimes it can be tough to figure out how to make dreams come to life(and I have many), but I’m finding if you truly believe and are passionate the right people come into your life and bring energy to your dreams... @swaydifeo is a force of awesomeness whom creates massive charity events and is a big believer in artists, creative types and damn good energy! She’s got big plans for this brand. And it seems I may be lucky enough to be getting @relachance her bright smile and her skills extraordinare to help organize and step up my social media game and help spread what’s going to be going on. People like these keep people like me going forward with a dream. Thank you! And if you can support the big event on the poster....come!! I’m going to be in the event as a certain writer of the period.

It’s undeniable....when you live with intention like minded people come into your life. I was riding my bike doing some errands and ended up next to this cool girl @yaniseho . I asked where she’s going...she’s rollerblading from Miami to LA then to NY with NO money, proving there is love in the world and people will help her out along the way. DAMMIT, that’s awesome!! This is exactly what Perfect for Awesomeness is about...people doing amazing things as well spreading positive energy and love. She loved the brand name so I gave her some stickers(she couldn’t take any shirts). What an awesome endeavor and adventure...and inspiration!

Today I woke up. Everything works...I got out of bed and jumped on my bike, then made some eggs, dealt with some lame emails, got annoyed that I was goofing off too much and not being as productive as I’d like. So I made some art, worked out, read, thought about some stuff in my life, then rode my bike again. Not a super “exciting” day, but it’s an awesome day compared to many other peoples. One day @bschmidt904 went to see the doctor thinking he had a flu or something, almost immediately he had his chest ripped open and a pump installed in his heart. Holy S**t! That didn’t take so his chest was opened again and they had to put someone else’s heart inside him!! Double holy S**t!! Less than a year later he’s doing triathlons and living his life despite nearly dying...twice!! Yes!!! These are the people that know what life is about and can teach the rest of us even if they aren’t “trying”. I really appreciate what I’m capable of and try to live fully each day. I also try and appreciate the people I know each time I’m with them....you never know what life has in store! Thanks for being Perfect for Awesomeness, Brandon! □

Everyone has a story, everyone has something that makes them unique. Everyone in this picture is amazingly different yet, similar. The vast majority of humans are really good people and unfortunately the bad seeds get a lot of attention, or a single person in our life doesn’t show us the kindness we all deserve, and that can cause many of us to want to hide. I keep believing in the good of the world and I have been meeting more and more people that inspire and help me grow. @bschmidt904 @k_marina89 @mady_lepri @phaezy_ .

After having a rough/crazy ‘17 I’m focused on ‘18 to be one of the best, most enriching years of my life and with that I’m pushing hard on goals, like making Perfect for Awesomeness something that benefits myself and others and puts a positive impact on the world around me, as well I’m opening myself to almost every opportunity and trying new things, always learning and expanding. So, I decided to take a course to learn handstands, back bends and have better flexibility, and these two bad asses are the instructors...Becky @missus_dub and Minnette @minnette_ are both super kind, positive, healthy, and obviously super fit women that teach the course and other fitness classes. And they also love and embody what this brand is about. Check them out to get your body moving!

One of the things I plan to do with this brand as it grows is get behind and support exceptional, unique, talented, top notch people and when I saw Kurt Osborn @wheelieacrossamerica I had to get him a shirt! Check out his page and send him some love as he prepares to set a world record for doing a wheelie in his bike. That’s freaking Perfect for Awesomeness!! I’m an artist and athlete so I know what it takes to get to the top....dedication, suffering, hard work, passion...people that chase a dream are special and I’m excited to be involved with more in ‘18!

Megan @madartstudios is an amazing artist and athlete and had great things to say about wearing her crop top....she definitely fits the energy of this brand... "I love this tank top from Perfect for Awesomeness, but even more importantly I LOVE the message of positivity and uplifting vibe and believing in yourself no matter what. Always believe you are AWESOME and can achieve your dreams and goals no matter what curve balls life throws at you. It also hits home to me personally as the founder is also a fellow artist @goodwinglass and mountain biker, two of my greatest passions. He understands how important it is to follow your passion and never let anything stop you from being who you are, and to take advantage of all the opportunities life offers you to be the best version of yourself...Live Your Best Life and be Perfect for Awesomeness" I love seeing posts like this!!

This is a strong, powerful woman that has been dealt some crappy cards...after fighting breast cancer it has returned 2yrs later and her life is consumed again with this awful battle. She's wearing the #perfectforawesomeness shirts as reminders to herself and to help keep her spirits up on this tough road. I'm happy I can support her in any way and glad this phrase has a helpful impact. Life can throw massive curve balls and send us off track, there are no guarantees. Make the best of situations and appreciate the people around you.
