DEMINT's Founders Message

"Developing my personal network, which is the groundwork for DEMINT, has taken 14 years in Puerto Rico, 2 years in NYC, 2 years in SF & LA. I have worked diligently to develop my ROLODEX that is rich in diversity & resources through good will.

I am structuring this business as irrevocable trust with a charitable foundation to allow us to donate a percentage of our profits to good causes. This is a faith based business.

It is the right time & the perfect place for this space to provide multiple industries with an intimate environment for multipurpose events.

This will ultimately be a labor of love, as our team is passionate about crafting premium experiences.

My strongest desire is to offer visitors to the island & the people of Puerto Rico a new caliber of events. The high net-worth community, professional creatives & well established brands from industries like automotive & fashion deserve a space for popups alongside charities & community cultural events.

My highest goal is to introduce our clients & guests to new experiences that invigorate & elevate them. In the process our partners we will have an immense amount of fun together.”*

— Simon Hawk, DEMINT Creative Director & Community Designer

Why This Matters

This message is more than a reflection of Simon Hawk’s journey; it is the foundation of DEMINT’s vision and purpose. The emphasis on “14 years in Puerto Rico, 2 years in NYC, 2 years in SF & LA” speaks to the depth of commitment and the broad range of relationships that make DEMINT a truly global network with a local heart. By grounding the organization in goodwill, trust, and philanthropy, Hawk signals that DEMINT is not just a business venture—it is a mission-driven movement.

The founder’s framing of DEMINT as both a faith-based business and a labor of love reveals a philosophy rooted in integrity, resilience, and service. It positions DEMINT as an organization that measures success not just in profit, but in impact: strengthening communities, elevating cultural expression, and ensuring that giving back is baked into its very structure.

How This Builds DEMINT’s Core Philosophies

From Hawk’s words, the guiding philosophies of DEMINT crystallize clearly:

1. Community First – The foundation of DEMINT is built on the belief that strong networks can transform lives, economies, and cultures.

2. Philanthropy as a Pillar – By embedding giving into the structure of the organization, DEMINT ensures growth is shared with the broader community.

3. Cultural Elevation – The emphasis on “a new caliber of events” reflects DEMINT’s commitment to creativity, innovation, and experiences that uplift.

4. Joy in Collaboration – The founder’s closing line about having “an immense amount of fun together” reinforces DEMINT’s belief that true community thrives when purpose and joy are united.

A Vision Forged in Crisis

Simon Hawk’s Truth Trilogy emerged in 2020, written “in the heat of 2020 during all the drama and chaos” This was more than a backdrop—it was the crucible that shaped his call to action: a profound invitation to transform adversity into clarity, direction, and creative momentum.

Why This Philosophy Matters

1. From Chaos to Clarity : 2020 stripped away illusions and exposed vulnerabilities—yet it also revealed opportunities. Hawk channels this paradox through frameworks that empower readers to move forward—deliberately and defiantly.

2. Practical Over Theoretical : Rather than dwelling on abstract ideals, the Truth Trilogy offers tangible strategies: choose your next move (Rules of 3), commit to self-sustenance (Food or Fear), and harness momentum for transformation (Trilogy’s finale).

3. Holistic Growth : The BATH System speaks to a balanced vision—integrating business acumen, agricultural sustainability, technological adaptation, and personal health. It’s a multi-dimensional approach to resilience.

4. A Call to Action : Ultimately, Hawk writes not just to inform—but to mobilize. Whether encouraging uncomfortable action, confronting fear, or defining your next steps, the trilogy serves as both inspiration and directive.
