Turning an Idea Into a Profitable Business - Alan Moore

Our host, Jha Allen, interviewed the Founder of Let’s Do This Houston LLC, Alan Moore. Let’s Do This Houston is a special events agency with the purpose of engaging the community through unique and fun activities.

Alan’s business sort of happened by accident! As Alan was working a 9-5, he stumbled on the idea of hosting bike tours and events, and that’s when the idea clicked. In this episode, Alan shares his journey from juggling his career in social services to diving fully into entrepreneurship and expanding his business. Let’s Do This Houston continues to evolve as a Houston-based gem introducing leisurely fun while both exercising and connecting with the local community.
