Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
Ever since high school, Paul Copeland has had a passion for cigars. From watching his dad smoke a cigar while riding the tractor around the farm to creating a cigar club in both high school and college, Paul has always had a cigar-based social life. On today’s episode of Move Forward Anyway, Paul explains how you can turn your everyday passion into a storefront reality.
As an avid cigar connoisseur, Paul always knew he wanted to turn his passion into a business. He then met Country superstar Luke Bryan through cigar clubs, and they began to ponder the idea of opening a cigar shop. Together, they opened Shore Thing Cigars in Florida, close to Luke Bryan’s vacation home. Not only do Paul and Luke communicate well as friends, but they also share a deep-rooted trust as business partners.
When it comes to running his store, Paul explains the importance of always putting your staff first. Paul has a staff made up of all women, and he gushes about what these women have taught him about his marriage, life and how to be a more understanding person.
Tune into this week’s episode of Move Forward Anyway for an insightful conversation with Jeff and Paul about following your dreams. Learn more about the importance of compassion when it comes to owning a small business and how Paul’s childhood passion has allowed him to turn his obsession into a profession.

• “The fear was am I doing something wrong because I am following my dream, following my passion? I’m not doing a ‘real job.’ Thank the Lord there is income coming in as well.”

There are risks, and after surgery, you’re not going to feel 100% better, and you have to strengthen yourself. But, you have to understand the surgery was done to fix something. After that therapy wears out, you have the strength and you’re able to move on.” (45:25-45:34)
