At the heart of Mario Zelaya’s journey is a belief that business is more than profit — it is about vision, impact, and legacy.
From founding Bad Axe Throwing, which gerew into the world’s largest urban axe throwing company, to establishing the World Axe Throwing League, Mario has shown what it means to transform ideas into global movements.
His ventures span across recreation, real estate development, and media, yet the common thread remains the same: bold innovation, resilience, and a commitment to excellence. Through Zelaya Entrepreneurship Counsel, Mario shares these lessons, mentoring individuals and organizations to sharpen their strategies, elevate their brands, and create ventures that stand the test of time.
This is more than entrepreneurship — it is about building something that lasts, and empowering others to do the same.
