Old Testament. Book of Daniel. Chapter 6. Never compromise.

Crazy story about this one.

Back in 2018, we shot the Bearded Banker About Video. At the end of the video, I mention our tag line, ‘Success Without Compromise’. Honestly, at the time it just kind of rolled off the tongue and I was happy with it. I wasn’t even sure where it came from as I’ve never heard it before. Fast forward and I was discussing the tagline with our graphic designer so we can make a tee for it. The designer asked me if I had any inspiration ideas or photos he could use. I didn’t, so I Googled it. Of course, many results came up, which wasn’t surprising, I wasn’t so arrogant to think I was the first person to say that line, however, the crazy part was where it had been used before...

The first link I clicked mentioned the Bible, and I thought hmm, that’s interesting; but not only was it a theme in an Old Testament bible story, it was the moral of The Book of Daniel. DANIEL, as in DANIEL VALENCIA, as in BEARDED BANKER. WHAT?!

I was pretty blown away. I’m not religious so this was news to me. The story of Daniel is rooted around him not compromising his faith in the face of persecution which gets him thrown into the lion's den. Per Daniel “God sent an angel to close the lions' jaws” and he comes out of the pit unscathed. The King then commands all those who conspired against Daniel to be thrown to the lions and that All bow down to the God of Daniel.

Our definition of Success Without Compromise has evolved for today’s day. Never compromise your morals, your character or your self-esteem (appearance/beard) because even if they throw you to the lions you will come out unscathed.
