GridZero Founder/President/CEO, plus Creator/Writer and Host of our Business Reality Web Series.
Launching any business from the ground up, esspecially large scale models - may sound impossible. However, our founder Peter "The AngelPreneur" Ortmann, 69, aka: The Shark is fully committed to doing just that. In fact he will showcase the entire process within a new reality-based business building web series: The AngelPreneur: Building the Dream in Real Time launching later this year.
​
This series will take viewers on an entrepreneurial reality ride of a lifetime, in real time, building companies with real people. Including several stand-alone ventures and the Shark's legacy corporate project: The Aquarium Plaza Corporate Center. Think of the old television series the "Office" meets the "Apprentice" on "Survivor" and you get a sense for what lies ahead.
​
The series will not be scripted, or a high budget production filled with gimmicks. It will be set in real time setting that will take viewers from the concept creation and design stages to the launch and build-out stages. It will redefine the term crazy, so, fasten your seat belts, we expect to see plenty of turbulance, on this long, rough, and yet entertaining journey that few have the balls to undertake.
The Shark intends to self fund some of this project costs with the support of his ClubZERO Rewards membership program, engaging members along the way in the process. The Series will feature only the projects he designed and developed over the past 25 years outlined in his upcoming book by the same name: The AngelPreneur. book shares the challenges and many shipwrecks the Shark had to swim endlessly around, plus negative opinions he was subjected to to bring his projects to this stage.
​
The Shark addresses the fear factors that would derail others who may dare to try such large-scale endeavors that many deem impossible for risk of failure. The Shark does not acknowledge the words “Impossible” or “failure.” He views them as “I’m Possible” and “Failure” as a mere stepping stone on the road towards success.
The Shark’s journey to this point has seen many challenges, detours and cost well over a million dollars over the years. His inner strength comes from never letting other people’s perception of him, or his ideas, become his reality. When failure strikes he picks himself up and reinvents his project, then charges forward. The Shark has a clear vison of where he and his projects are heading, and has reverse engineered the pathway to get there more than a few times.
This series shares years of research and development work that led to his projects. The Shark will share his insight and integrated design wisdom, prior successes, and his many failures or set-backs. That alone is worth watching every episode if only to learn what a true purpose-driven commitment means. To better understand the true price most grassroot entrepreneurs pay to accomplish their vision, with the constant need to alter their business plans, and sometimes themselves.
The series is scheduled to launch in early 2025 exclusively for paid ClubZERO Rewards members. Followed with weekly video episodes and special features online. Each updates member/viewers on the progress made, showcase the people who make things happen, including our staff members,
vendors, locations, sponsors, contributors and partners who have supported our project/efforts.
