Our Story
The Centered Solopreneur was born under a mango tree.
Not as a brand.
Not as a business plan.
But as a moment of surrender.
I had just been fired from my job with no warning, no savings, and no fallback plan.
The rug had been pulled from underneath me, and for the first time in years, I couldn’t run from the decision I’d been avoiding.
The choice we all face…
Build your own life, or live someone else’s story forever.
The Centered Solopreneur isn’t just a business. It’s a refuge.
It’s where strategy meets soul.
Where marketing tools sound like you.
Where systems are built around your life—not the other way around.
You need content? We’ve got the tools.
Need operational clarity? We’ve built the frameworks.
Need someone to check in, slow you down, help you recalibrate?
We’re here.
Need a quiet corner of the internet where someone gets you?
Welcome home.
We stand for the ones who feel like they’re doing it all wrong—but show up anyway.
We stand for people who want to make a real difference—and have the courage to try.
We stand for ownership. For rhythm. For building in alignment instead of anxiety.
You don’t have to do it alone.
You don’t have to burn out to break through.
You just need a place that’s honest, human, and built with your bandwidth in mind.
That’s why we’re here.
We want to help you build your mango stand.
So you can,
Own your life.
— Gio Pasquale, Founder
I had waffled for years with one foot in safety, and one foot in the water of self-employment.
But that day, standing under a mango tree on my morning walk, I prayed.
I asked God for direction.
For clarity.
For a sign that I wasn’t crazy to want more.
And at that exact moment of prayer
A perfectly ripe mango fell from the tree, and rolled to my foot.
Later that same day, I passed a local mango stand and spoke with the owner about entrepreneurship. He said something I’ll never forget…
“All you gotta do is open your mango stand, and cool people will show up.”
At that moment, I decided I was done waiting for permission.
I didn’t create The Centered Solopreneur out of genius.
I created it out of necessity. Out of chaos. Out of nights I couldn’t sleep because my brain wouldn’t shut off.
Out of watching brilliant, heart-centered people drown in overwhelm, doubt, and duct-taped systems.
Out of seeing people being mislead by online gurus.
I’ve seen solopreneurs cry on zoom calls because no one in their life understands what they’re building.
I’ve seen coaches lose their spark trying to keep up with algorithms.
I’ve seen creatives trade their truth for a funnel that doesn’t fit.
I’ve lived it.
So I built something that could hold it.
