NaXum’s Journey
![](https://naxum.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/rodd-new-2-1.png)
NaXum’s founder, Rodd Kirby, began his entrepreneurial journey right after graduation from Baylor University with the purchase of his first Texaco convenience store.
After building and operating multiple locations, he then sold his Texaco business and was introduced to a network marketing company by a waiter at a restaurant (Thanks, Henry!), and quickly found his true calling.
As a single parent, Rodd was drawn to the freedom of working from home and jumped in full time building multiple downlines of tens of thousands of distributors. He personally witnessed the freedom and beauty of referral residual “mailbox” money and fell in love with the magical art of DUPLICATION, helping others find true freedom in their lives.
To empower real duplication, Rodd began to invest money to create and provide free custom marketing tools for his personal leaders, which created massive success. This is when Rodd really found his purpose!
On New Years Day, Jan 1st,1999, from a place of passion for the direct selling industry and following a year of frustration from licensing a marketing platform from another company… Rodd founded NaXum.com and began his vision to build his very own in-house custom marketing tools system from scratch.
