A Timeline of Heartbreak & Triumph
🏁 Company Founded
Founded by Grant Smith, a recent college grad who decided he would live forever & that it was his will to make that choice.
🏢 Grant Works for Kennected©️
After some work on the startup, Grant ran into some hurdles & decided to work for a different Startup to supplement his income, as it was difficult, initially, to gain the traction he expected.
🎰 Grant Moves the Company to Vegas
The plan was always to start the first #Commune in Nevada, but people were skeptical that Grant would ever even make it out there. To their surprise, Grant finessed a plane ticket to California, then took a FlixBus®️ to Las Vegas, where he scrapped to get by for several years, sleeping in hotels & Airbnbs, witnessing severe homelessness, & adjusting to the lifestyle change from Indiana where he had been almost his whole life to Las Vegas, America's Entertainment Capital ...
🪦 Death of a CoFounder
Grant's Best Friend & CoFounder of UTO™️, Braden Caldwell, also notably the driving force behind UTO™️ RDMA Adverse Possession Services, passes away, surprisingly, after struggling with narcotics. Grant pledged from the day he heard of Braden's Death, that he would not only avenge the Ray Mysterio Brand & Moniker (Braden's Super Alter-Ego), but he would continue to work on the League of Leagues™️ until beyond successful & one day they would clone Braden & bring him back into existence in this reality.
😡 Pain Fuels Motivation:
The Subsidiaries of UTO™️ Holdings are Born
Grant creates the first iteration of the UTO™️ Subsidiaries, a long list of over 25+ unique businesses, ranging from Apps to Governments ... The plan is to build a conglomerate & to initiate quick change through viral business activity, that spreads through news sources like oxygen does on Earth.
🤹♂️ Google™️ Gives Grant an Unexpected Call
In the midst of the agonizing pain of the loss of his best friend, Grant was still working on the UTO™️ Project & was focused on becoming Google™️ Real Estate ... To his & the surprise of many others, a Google™️ Recruiter gave Grant a call in August 2022, offering him a position selling Chromecasts & Google™️ TVs. Grant proudly accepted the offer & went to work for Google™️, while putting UTO™️ back on the side.
📽️ Grant's Life Changes:
Entertainment is a key Balance in the World of Business & without it, we would have nothing.
After spending time with Google™️, Grant's lust for action became undeniable, & struggling, still, with the loss of Braden, Grant "went off the deep end" & decided to attend some events & film some videos that may have landed him in cold water, & after following his favorite adult star to Los Angeles, Grant realized he was down bad. He had no choice, but to get famous ASAP, & decided to put more effort into his Music Career, which he had been dabbling in recently. He went on to become several named rappers, before becoming Rick Burnz, the Punk Metal (Primary) Artist, with an Eternal Vision.
♾️ The Ascent of RICK BURNZ
After dabbling around with some other rap monikers, Grant finally landed on one that would stick for the long haul: RICK BURNZ, the ascended Super Human Version of Grant, who would go on to produce many hits, while also getting into a deep flux with FOX®️ News & FOX®️ News Podcast (Now The #DOPE Podcast). Ricky Burnz turned out to be a saving grace for Grant, who was struggling physically & mentally to certain degrees, but then turned his life around once the moniker stuck, thanks to a friend named Butter, that he met at the 4 Queens Hotel on Fremont Street ... Now going by Ricky Burnz, Grant had a much better grasp on pop culture again, & had reverted back to some of his pre-European ways, while also combining his liberal knowledge with brash totalitarian "Italiano" levering ...
👷 Back to Work
After living in a semi-homeless situation for almost 2 years, Grant (now Rick), had reached a rock bottom, after being robbed by a guy with a knife. Grant, fed up with the way life was going, wanted to find some peace of mind. His mom, worried about his safety, helped him to afford housing & now Grant was living in a good situation, but focused on Music & Videos, he wasn't as concerned with his Business Career. It wasn't until he moved into a new house in July 2024, after some time on Fremont Street, that he decided to go back to working on his Businesses & developing UTO™️ & Subsidiaries. His roommate actually motivated him by hurting his feelings, saying he didn't like his music. Rick had dealt with rejection before, & at this point he felt like words couldn't hurt him, other than to redirect him into something better. His outlook was undeniably optimistic, & despite his losses, he kept pushing to turn his futuristic dream into a blazing reality.
🤯 New Friends & a New Way of Operating🤯
Grant would go on to link with Darnel Crichlow, a FinTech Founder with PassCash™️, who helped him regain focus on UTO™️, giving him advice, motivation, & direct help on the company, from legal formation, to Operations ... Darnel would play an integral role in helping to build UTO™️ from 2 Founders to 371+ in the span of 1 month ... Darnel, an experienced Startup & Entertainment Veteran, understood the Equity Structure, his values aligned directly with UTO™️ even at our most polarizing levels, & he was able to help persuade other cofounders to join, including our Institutional Investor: Gentrck™️, an Indian Development Company. Thanks to Y Combinator, the World's Most Famous Accelerator, Grant & Darnel are now setup to achieve infinity together as friends & business partners, & are even planning on filming a Netflix®️ Documentary called: "Startup" which follows several "Unicorn" Startup businesses in the Y Combinator Program, from start to finish, in San Francisco, CA.
👮 The Dean Fischer Trial
Ommited from the beginning of the story, it is critical that we mention the Dean Fischer defamation case in this Timeline. While not a fun topic, it is important, because justice is still yet to be served. Grant is working with UTO™️ Representation to sue & prosecute Dean Fischer & the IMPD North District, who lied about a violent scenario in which Grant was brutally beaten by the police & molested in Jail by them, for doing literally nothing, & then after, he was charged & convicted with "Attacking an Officer with a Deadly Weapon", a Level 6 Felony, despite having video evidence that Grant did not attack, punch, or try to hurt a single officer, but did get BRUTALLY attacked by them. This case should result in a VERY large settlement for Grant, which he will invest into UTO™️. He originally tried going after them himself, after not finding any Indiana Lawyers to take on the case, but after moving to Las Vegas, he found an abundance of Lawyers eagerly itching to take on his case. His main goal with this, now, is to not only win the money that is prescribed in his losses due to Fischer's libel & police bruality, but also to straight up convict a Lying, Violent Cop who has no business being in a uniform, & should rot in jail for the rest of his life, if not the death penalty (Ohio).
⏩ Moving Forward
While UTO™️'s origins are that of a unparalleled bumpy road, however, it's future is brighter than ever, with over 371+ employees, now, a Montana Corporation License, Many Key Partnerships, & an Abundance of Interested Customers, ready to see what products & services UTO™️ will officially offer, once operationally launched. While many have speculated, some have doubted, & few have faced less a tumultuous of a path to Business Legitimacy, UTO™️'s story is that of resilience, undeniable passion, & a growing cast of magic, that has unfolded into a Global Conglomerate Powerhouse, that is Utopia Communities™️.
