We Love Being EPIC…And We Want You To Be Too
Our philosophy:
In order to make an impact on your intended audience, it’s imperative for your brand (personal or professional) to project as big, bold, and powerful a presence as possible. We refer to this as being “epic.”
All epic individuals and/or brands possess essential elements that translate directly to success. Our mission is to ignite these ingredients as we work alongside our clients.

Disruption is an inevitability that many executives and business owners are frightened to death of. It’s no surprise than, as to why the hungry, passionate, savvy, scrappy entrepreneur-types relish in this type of disruption. Disruption is the reality check for big organizations who become complacent. Disruption is the constant balance necessary between innovation and stagnation. Disruption is the automated removal of irrelevance. Disruption is completely unbiased. Disruption is … the only way.
We’ve seen time and time again how ignoring disruption can lead to business annihilation. In most instances, corporations choose to ignore the early warning signs, opting instead to embrace their close-minded agendas, only to be blindsided (shock!) by more agile competitors and/or powerful market trends.
In the past two years, we have seen nearly every prominent industry disrupted to some degree. The automobile industry, financial institutions, media conglomerates, the list is a mile long…and it continues to grow.
My name is Kevin Pruett and I have been “analyzing” businesses and their effect on society ever since I can remember. Son of a Wall Street executive, I was exposed to the free market economic philosophy at a very early age. As a result, I quickly became fascinated with the driving forces that shift markets and affect businesses. Despite the unrivaled influence of Wall Street, I never fully bought into it. I recall walking out of my father’s 16th floor office at 12-years old (1997) trying to think up ways to completely reshape the industry. (ah, childish exuberance!)
Businesses are not faceless stock tickers. They are not commodities or products of speculation. For a long time now, we have treated these publicly traded companies as the ultimate indicator of business success. Those days are long gone…Enter the disruptive business era.
I started gaWrilla as a place to speak directly to those passionate about delivering purpose and meaning through business ventures. The “gawrilla” represents that special breed of animal (in a jungle of competition) that engages in three core principles: 1) vision 2) passion and 3) execution. It is my belief that stripping a business down to these basic layers allows for true growth and discovery. It is also my belief that by embracing this methodology, true disruption is likely to occur.
I have a passion for being disruptive….I have a passion for breeding gawrillas.
