Build Your Life to Be Flexible

COVID-19 changed everything. It transformed the way we live and work, and it revolutionized the way millions of Americans approach their careers.
Dylan Ogline, founder of digital marketing agency Ogline Digital and entrepreneurship training program Agency 2.0, is no stranger to self-employment. He also found that during the pandemic, entrepreneurs experienced more stability than their nine-to-five counterparts.
“Everybody’s got to start now,” he says in reference to starting their own business. “People are going to be working at home, traveling the world.”
Dylan stayed put during the pandemic, and it’s been more than two years since he’s left the country. Yet he stands by his take on the unprecedented potential of digital entrepreneurship. And lately, others have taken note. His business more than doubled during the pandemic, all in the name of helping others pursue their passion and take back control.
Because the idea of going to the office and working for a single company throughout a person’s career? That concept is dead. And with mass layoffs and business closures at the peak of COVID-19, people are becoming more aware of not only the power, but the necessity of flexibility.
Here’s the thing: Dylan believes a progressive take on the changing corporate landscape is critical. Many of his own clients were forced to grow their digital presence after needless stalling—because after months or even years of putting that off, the pandemic didn’t leave them with much choice.
So these clients adapted, and their businesses thrived. Other companies died.
Talk about survival of the fittest.
But Dylan views this as a lesson. “One thing that never changes… is that the world will continue to change,” he says.
The millennial is committed to his agency clients, just as he is devoted to the students who enroll in his training program, and he wants them to build the confidence and skills they need to go out on their own, embrace change, and prosper.
Why’s that? Well, strategies that are working today might not be effective five years from now, and people need to be prepared. Artificial intelligence, for instance, will have a colossal impact on billions of lives. So Dylan has made it a focal point to teach his students to adapt to the evolution of business.
It’s all about a shift in mindset. According to Dylan, the education system teaches people to be good employees—but not to be good business owners. It teaches people to do the same thing for 30 years, and they’ll inherently climb the corporate ladder. They’ll move up naturally.
But will they? That ladder doesn’t exist anymore. And by waiting to go out on their own, people risk standing on shaky ground. Often, Dylan’s students will explain they’ve done countless Facebook ads for their employer, yet they couldn’t even fathom starting their own business.
He asks them, “Why not?”
If there’s anything the digital marketing star has learned in the last 17 months, overcoming that uncertainty—and embracing the unknown—can go a long way.
Dylan likens the shift we experienced during the coronavirus pandemic to the Great Recession. Others have too. A lot of people were laid off, and their lives were greatly impacted—but again, they were stuck in their way. With that, his advice to people in general is to become more comfortable with change.
“Build your life to be flexible,” he urges his students and everyone else.
Dylan has done exactly that. And while he was in a fortunate position with his flourishing business during COVID-19, it wasn’t all a matter of luck. He also built his life to be flexible.
For those who are curious about this approach, the entrepreneur recommends a book called Who Moved My Cheese?, written around the 2008 financial crisis, and published in 2008, author Spencer Johnson, M.D., uses cheese as a metaphor for anything a person wants in life: a good job, good health, a meaningful possession or relationship, or even money.
The idea is that we’re all stuck in a maze of sorts, searching for what we desire. And in the book, the characters must deal with the changes they face. Each individual must face change head-on, and then write about what they’ve learned on the maze walls.
The moral of the story is this: By learning from others, we can discover how to navigate change for ourselves. This is precisely what Dylan tells his students and clients, and it means a lot to him to be able to guide others to their own version of success.
“People might say, ‘This is how the world is. This is what I do. This is how I make money,’” Dylan explains. “These people need to become more comfortable with change, because world-shaping events are going to become more common.”
Climate change is upon us, and workers are increasingly displaced. Experts are exploring the possibility of future pandemics, and these things are going to have a massive impact.
The more flexible you are, the better off you’ll be.
And Dylan’s students have the results to show just how impactful this advice can be. Take one woman from the Dakotas, who was kind, talented, and terrified of sales. She enrolled in Dylan’s program, launched her own agency, and realized how capable she really was. This same woman is now happily self-employed, a dream come true for her.
Another student was dealing with the stress of a spouse’s layoff. They used part of the final paycheck to invest in his program, and landed their first client close to Christmas. This gave them the means to buy their kids Christmas presents, even during tough times.
This is what it means to be self-employed nowadays. While people aren’t taught in school to think like business owners, entrepreneurship is well within reach. All it takes is exploring what you don’t know, and adopting a more flexible mindset once you take the leap.

Office Logix Shop Transforms the Refurbished Office Furniture World

Office Logix Shop, founded in 2015 by Obada Mzaik and Kamal Haykal, grew from a garage-based startup into a major force in the refurbished office furniture market. The company runs a showroom in Lewis Center, Ohio, and operates a 60,000-square-foot warehouse, showing its rapid expansion. The demand for sustainable office furniture has propelled its growth in today’s environmentally aware market.
“We started this business with a dream to create comfortable, productive workspaces for everyone,” says Obada Mzaik, co-owner and COO of Office Logix Shop. “Our garage operation has transformed into a full-scale business, showing our dedication to excellence.”
Custom Designs Transform Office Comfort
Office Logix Shop has created specialized accessories, focusing on headrests for various chair models. The company earned a patent for one of its headrest designs and is pursuing more patents.
“We excel beyond refurbishment,” Mzaik explains. “Our product line includes headrest accessories and high-quality chair parts, which we engineered for superior ergonomic support and lasting performance.”
Office Logix Shop created the first headrest for the Mirra 2 and Embody, as well as the Leap V2 Headrests. Customers and industry experts have praised its ergonomic designs, valuing its products’ blend of comfort and durability.
Market Success: A $6.5 Million Growth Story
Office Logix Shop generates annual revenue of $6.5 million, with a yearly growth rate of 35%. The company served over 12,000 customers in the past year, specializing in refurbishing premium brand chairs like Herman Miller and Steelcase. Its bestsellers include the Leap V2 Headrest, Embody Headrest, seat mesh for Aeron chairs (Size B and C), and refurbished Classic Aeron and Leap V2 chairs.
“Our competitive prices and quality standards make us stand out,” Kamal Haykal, co-owner and CEO of Office Logix Shop, states. “We provide complete solutions in the market, offering premium refurbished office furniture and original products.” Its attention to detail has built a loyal customer base across the United States, with repeat customers driving its growth.
Customer Power: Redefining Furniture Service
Office Logix Shop solves customer challenges through premium refurbished products at lower prices than new items. It stocks a complete inventory of chair parts for refurbishment and creates tutorial videos to help small refurbishers and customers repair their chairs. “Office Logix Shop transforms workspaces, one chair at a time,” Mzaik states.
Its customer support extends beyond sales. It offers a 30-day return policy and a hands-on showroom experience where customers test and compare different products. The company’s repair guides help businesses and individuals maintain their office furniture investments, building a community of skilled customers.
Future Path: Creating Original Designs
Office Logix Shop is expanding its presence in the high-end office furniture space by continuing to grow its line of signature ergonomic chairs. “We want to keep building on what we’ve started,” says Mzaik. “With our current models, the Nova and the Midan, we’re already offering premium comfort and design at a more accessible price point. Now we’re planning to expand even further, creating more ergonomic seating solutions that are not only high-end but also affordable for everyone.”
The company aims to evolve from a refurbished office furniture specialist to becoming a manufacturer. Office Logix Shop continues to adapt and create, strengthening its position in the office furniture market while prioritizing sustainability and customer satisfaction. Its next phase will bring new products that reflect its competence in ergonomics and sustainability.
