Case Study: The CoVive™ – From Local Events to National Impact


Victor + Valor

Alex's Vision: Building Community, Connection, and Sharing the Human Story


When Alex, a Special Operations Forces (SOF) spouse, came to Victor + Valor®, she had a simple yet powerful vision: to create a space where people could connect, share their stories, and build communities. Alex’s journey began with a passion for fostering human connection, and that passion evolved into The CoVive™, a community-driven brand dedicated to sharing the personal stories of people from all walks of life.


Starting with local events, Alex connected with like-minded individuals and built strong communities of people looking to find common ground and support one another. However, as Alex’s vision grew, and with her husband’s separation date growing closer, she realized that the need for connection went far beyond her local community. Her heart for community and human stories pushed her to dream bigger: what if she could reach people across the nation and amplify voices that often went unheard?


Alex needed guidance, support, and the right tools to transform her grassroots events into a multistate collaboration, and that’s where Victor + Valor® came in.



The Challenges: From Local to National

Despite having a strong foundation and a dedicated following, Alex faced several hurdles that made scaling The CoVive™ seem like a daunting task.


First, she had the vision and the heart to create something meaningful, but she was unsure how to transition from hosting local events to reaching a broader audience. She needed a business strategy, guidance on scaling, and the ability to create a brand that could resonate with people on a much larger scale.


Beyond that, Alex was juggling the realities of being a military spouse—managing family life while trying to grow a business. She needed infrastructure, systems, and strategic support to allow her vision to unfold seamlessly.


The idea of launching a podcast, collaborating with local vendors, and creating exclusive merchandise was exciting, but it also felt overwhelming without the right tools and support to bring it all together.



Victor + Valor® Steps In: Turning Vision into Reality

When Alex reached out to Victor + Valor®, we saw the incredible potential in The CoVive™. We understood that the heart of her brand lay in community and human connection, and we were eager to help her scale that vision into something bigger.


Here’s how Victor + Valor® helped Alex:

  • Strategic Business Development: We worked closely with Alex to create a business strategy that aligned with her goals. From brand identity to growth plans, we helped her map out how to transition from a local presence to a national initiative. We provided the tools and direction to help her confidently launch her vision across state lines.

  • Brand Development: Alex didn’t have the time or resources to fully build a strong brand identity. We stepped in and created a gameplan to share her stories, live her life, and grow her reach no matter where she lived.

  • Podcast Strategy and Launch: The CoVive™’s podcast is a key element of Alex’s vision, and we helped her lay the groundwork for success. We provided content strategy, branding guidance, and technical support to ensure the podcast would be a seamless extension of her brand when she felt the time was right to launch it. By sharing the stories of the people they meet across America, this podcast is poised to be a platform for deeper human connection and storytelling.

  • Partnerships and Merchandise Creation: As a way to help keep the heart of community in all that she does, the idea to collaborate with local vendors and create exclusive merchandise was a natural fit for Alex. But, she didn’t have the resources to source and manage these partnerships as she and her family traveled the United States. We helped Alex set up the framework for her merchandise platform and created a strategy to connect her with local vendors to create products that resonated with her community, such as exclusive apparel and event-specific merchandise.


Through our partnership, The CoVive™ is ready to expand its reach nationally and share the power of connection with people across the country.



The Future: National Impact and Expanding Reach

As 2025 approaches, The CoVive™ is set to embark on a new chapter. Alex and her husband, also a SOF spouse, are excited to launch their multistate collaboration, connecting with even more people across the U.S. and continuing to amplify voices that deserve to be heard.


The CoVive™ podcast will serve as a national platform where people from all walks of life can share their stories—whether it’s about overcoming challenges, achieving dreams, or finding strength in community. Alex’s goal is to not only bring people together but to celebrate the diverse human experiences that make us all unique.


In addition to the podcast, Alex is excited to grow her community events, bringing local vendors into the fold and creating exclusive, community-driven merchandise that people can wear with pride. The CoVive™ is poised to become a national movement, touching people in every state, every corner of the country, and spreading the power of connection far and wide.



The Ongoing Partnership: Pivot, Restart, and Always Move Forward

At Victor + Valor®, we understand that life, especially military life, can be unpredictable. For military spouses like Alex, new opportunities and challenges arise constantly. That’s why our partnership with The CoVive™ is always ongoing.


We know that things change—sometimes rapidly—and that’s why we’re always ready to pivot, start, and restart whenever our partners are ready. Whether it's a new idea, a fresh approach, or a need to adjust to a different phase of life, we’re committed to being there every step of the way.


The Victor + Valor® app is a vital tool in helping Alex stay connected with her community, no matter where life takes her. Whether she's on the road, stationed in a new city, or working on a new project, the app keeps her in touch with trusted entrepreneurial friends and mentors who are always ready to cheer her on and offer guidance.


Even though her community will continue to grow, Alex knows that she has Victor + Valor® by her side, supporting her every step of the way. Through our ongoing support and the Victor + Valor® app, Alex has access to the resources and connections that will help her continue to succeed and make an even bigger impact across the nation.



The Impact: How Victor + Valor® Empowered The CoVive™

At Victor + Valor®, we’re proud to have played a role in helping Alex turn The CoVive™ from a local idea into a nationwide movement. We didn’t just provide a website, branding, and business strategy—we helped amplify a vision that was driven by a passion to create human connection and celebrate community.

Now, Alex’s brand is scalable, sustainable, and positioned for future success. The CoVive™ is no longer a small event-driven initiative; it’s a platform that connects people across the country and celebrates the power of the human story.
