Growing up with a Mom that only had one lung taught me a lot about what real adversity was.

Although we didn’t have much, our Mom showed us love and taught us how to be kind & empathetic.

I’ve had 4 pivotal moments in my life:

1. Getting stung by 53 Bees in 4th grade.

2. Being beaten and falsely arrested by police at 12.

3. Surviving a high speed accident and getting 52 staples on both legs at 19.

4. Making the decision to leave a 15 year career to be a full time entrepreneur.

The last one happened today, the day I’m writing this new bio.

I’ve experienced some adversity in my life like most of us, but I still don’t feel that I’ve faced adversity yet, knowing what my Mom went through in her short 54 years on this planet.

Less than two years ago when I started creating content on LinkedIn, everything changed. 

I started to realize that I can make a difference in people’s lives by helping them see things they don’t see in themselves.

Truly making a positive impact and having people walk away different then when they met you is so humbling and a true honor.

Once I realized why I was born, I knew I had to go all in on my mission of helping people Blaze their own trail in business & life.

That’s why I started the Blaze Your Own Trail Podcast 4 years ago as well.

At Blaze Your Own Trail Consulting, LLC I help entrepreneurs Blaze their own trail through strategic Consulting Services, 1:1 & Group Coaching & Digital Courses.

Areas Of Expertise:

Sales 
Digital Marketing

Sitting down with a complete stranger for lunch to discuss our beliefs, passions, desires, goals, and plans, always leaves me feeling exhilarated and excited about life - #lunchonme

Dallin Harmon

My wife looked entirely fine, but she was silently falling apart. Her untold story of this destructive disease for 10+ years.

This is a story my wife would never publicize, 
Not because it isn’t important.

But because she’s too humble,
too private and too focused on others.

But I got her permission to share it, 
because someone needs to hear it,
so they can have hope.

When you live with a soul-sucking disease, 
(which happens to be Lupus for her),
There are so many hidden battles. 

These struggles most can never see, 
nor can others begin to understand. 

For my wife, Lupus attacks her joints and her organs.

It drains her energy, 
It leaves her feeling exhausted,
like her body is failing her on a daily basis.

12ish months ago,
we meet with a gifted doctor, 
he said something that caused us both to cry. 

“Your energy is like an old person who is sick. How are you getting out of bed every day?”

Her adrenals and body were failing her, 
That’s how severe her symptoms were.

It takes courage to learn to let go of responsibilities.

To allow others to step in,
and carry what you used to lift.

It takes humility as a parent, 
to feel like you’re falling short,
not because you don’t care deeply, 
but because your body physically can’t.

To fall asleep just by sitting down, 
not because you’re lazy, 
but because you’re utterly exhausted.

To wonder and ask yourself hard questions. 
Is this just my life now? 
Will I ever know what “well” feels like again?

An useful analogy,
that might provide a glimpse into this world:
Most people say pregnancy is so hard on woman’s body.

For my wife?
Pregnancy was when she felt the best, 
because the lupus went into remission.

But here’s the part that gives me hope,
and I want it to give you hope too.

Today, my wife is on a path to full healing. 
Like true and permanent healing.

We’ve seen miracle after miracle.
It has been nothing short of a gift to watch it unfold. 

And even when she was at her worst,
She kept showing up for our kids, for our family and herself. 

And that quiet resilience and determination?
It’s one of the reasons she’s my hero.

To anyone else out there struggling,
with some invisible struggle, 
mental, emotional or physical:

If you’re in the middle of it waiting, 
navigating the pain,
Please hold on.

We get your struggle. 
You matter to this world.
You are not forgotten.
And please don’t give up. 

Miracles rarely show up like fireworks.
they often arrive one little ray of light at time, 
like my wife did, quiet, steady, and full of resilience.

The world needs you.

You’re not weak for being tired.
You’re not broken because you struggle.
You are stronger than you know.

You’re capable of doing incredible good, 
even while fighting a hard battle.

I know this because my sweet wife,
does it every single day. And her impact? 
It’s already shaping generations.

The good she will do is just beginning, 
And your journey is just beginning as well.

My daughter cried when she heard the news, 
we would no longer have regular steady income. 
My answer? This 1 piece of paper. 

Recently, the company I worked for,
underwent a restructuring, 
one I fully aligned with and support.

In the process, 
my role was completely eliminated.
At that moment, I had 2 options.

1. Find the next opportunity that aligns.
2. Answer the call I’ve felt God prompting me toward for years.

After serious prayer, powerful promptings,
and some unexpected divine connections…
I am choosing to take the leap of faith. 

But I am not doing it alone, however, 
I asked my wife if we could hold a family council.

We gathered the kids and asked 2 questions:

2. What can we cut back on as a family and lower our burn rate?
3. How can we all support this vision together?

That conversation led to this paper.

It’s a simple sheet, 
but it holds the signatures of our children (most of them)
It's their way of saying

“We’re with you, Dad.”

God has prepared us for this moment,
It felt powerful and aligned, 
to cut back on expenses for a minute. 

Since this decision, 
something is shifting in our home.
Our kids aren’t just watching me build, 
they’re helping me do it.

They’re asking better questions, 
offering more intentional support,
finding small ways to contribute.

This isn't just a business journey, 
it’s a family one.

So if you’re building something new:

Don’t build it alone.
Don’t shield your kids from the hard stuff.
Let them be part of the process. 

Because when you give them a chance, 
they will show up in ways that will absolutely floor you.

They don’t just become spectators.
They become believers and supporters. 
They become your partners.

Because when you build together, 
You can become unstoppable.

(Personal favorite idea, power the house with stationary bike). 
Kids have such brilliant minds.

5 years ago at 6:30 AM, while on the other side of the world, I got a call to become an early investor in Tuttle Twins. 

I still remember the call like it was yesterday,
Daniel called me to invest in this TV series. 

I was on a work trip in the Philippines,
he spoke with full of conviction,
with a bold and risky investment for a TV series. 

A cartoon series that could teach kids about
freedom, money, personal responsibility and more.

He was selling more than a show, 
He was conveying a larger vision.  

I believed in it firmly, so I called my wife,
we pulled together what we could, and we invested.

Not because it made perfect financial sense.
But because it aligned with our values. 
This was the kind of story I wanted in my home.

-

Fast forward 5 years later:

Tuttle Twins is now the most-watched series on the Angel Studios platform, with:

-124M+ minutes viewed
-A key driver of 350,000+ new memberships
-a profitable IP franchise that is growing and vibrant. 

Last week Angel Studios announced the acquisition of the IP for Tuttle Twins. 

I’m grateful to have played a small part in this journey.

It was never about the money for me, 
I just wanted stories like this to exist.
I wanted my kids to grow up with values. 

Here’s what I’ve learned:

-Invest in things you believe in.
-Back builders who follow through.
-Support projects you want to exist in this world. 
-Be part of projects that will bless this world for good. 

So to the Tuttle Twins team, thank you, 
and congrats on the acquisition. 

You didn’t just build a TV series, 
You have built the beginning of a movement.

“Hey, do you want to go to paradise with me today?” Said my wife this morning. After 14 years of marriage, my response surprised even me.

We are leaving on vacation today, 
and for 10 + years of our marriage, 
I went on vacations to escape, numb and distract myself. 

To get away from all the stress, overwhelm and feelings of anxiety of living life. 

That is not a powerful way to live, 
to seek to get away from the life you have created.  

So I hired a coach to help me, 
I wanted to create a life I loved living, 
A life that I wanted to live and be deeply present in it every day. 

I have invested hundreds of hours, 
Rewiring countless limiting beliefs, 
to get back 50+ hours per week, 
from suffering to empowerment. 

Today, vacations are a celebration of life, 
Not an escape from it. 

My response to my wife this morning,
brought immense peace to my soul. 

“Babe, everyday with you and the kids, 
is already a paradise for me.”

Your vacations can become a celebration. 
Your life can become your own paradise. 
Your everyday living can be filled with happiness that you cannot even comprehend. 

How? 

Stop believing lies that create suffering. 
Stop listening to what the world sells you, 
And create the life you know you want to live. 

You can create TRUE FREEDOM, 
regardless of your life circumstances, 

Peace in who you actually are.
Presence in the things that matter.
Purpose that is much bigger than you.  
Performance in all areas of your life. 
Prosperity that leaves a legacy of impact, 
that blesses generations for years to come.

Rooting for you. 

FYI: We are headed to Hawaii. 

Any suggestions?

Does it take 2–3x as long to do it with kids?
Absolutely. And yet, I still keep doing it. Here is why? 

I get to create 2-3x the intentional moments with them, 
and maybe even more than that..

Because intentional time with your kids,
is never wasted… It’s sacred.

When you do things with your kids: YES,
it’s slower, messier and less efficient.

But it’s also more meaningful,
more memorable and more transformative.

-You get to compliment them in creative, heartfelt ways they’ll actually remember.

-You get to show them how to do something new and watch their eyes light up when they nail it (Pun intended:)

-You get to correct them with kindness, and show them why it matters.

-You get to build trust in micro-moments, one task, one tone, one teaching moment at a time.

-You get to bond over working together. 

Even if it takes you 3x as long.
Even if no one sees it but you.

These seemingly ordinary time-consuming tasks?
They hold the essence of what is extraordinary.

This is where real legacy is shaped.
Not in perfection, but in presence.

P.S. The weather has been surprisingly incredible for November especially in Utah.

Have a great week!
