Built from a
2-hour drive
and a coat.

Josh Hapairai-Hansen didn't set out to start a company. He set out to get his sister a coat before she flew to France. But somewhere between the Orem Post Mart and the drive home, the frustration turned into something bigger — a question he couldn't stop asking: why does this have to be so hard?

Josh served his own mission in France, which means he understood the experience from both sides. He knew what it felt like to be in the MTC counting down the days, and he knew what it meant when something from home showed up right when you needed it most. That context made the problem personal. Not just inconvenient — genuinely worth solving.

Josh Goodwin didn't hesitate for a second. When Josh Hapairai-Hansen called him that evening and walked him through the idea, it was the first business pitch that made him genuinely stop and say — that's it. Not because it was clever, but because it was obvious. He'd felt the same gap himself.

Josh served his own mission in France, so he knew firsthand what it meant to receive something from home during those early MTC weeks. The weight of it. The timing of it. The way a package could remind you exactly why you were there. That personal experience made Rushly more than a business idea to him — it made it a cause worth building.
