From the Road to a Mission — A Story by Dustin Bloodgood
Ramblin Riches wasn’t born in a boardroom — it was born out of real-life hustle, grit, and a deep desire to build something meaningful. The first version of this dream took shape in March of 2023, as a traveling coin business that made its name on Whatnot. We shipped out 770+ products, earned 176 perfect 5-star reviews, and never received a single complaint. Just honesty, quality, and connection — the way business should be done.
But after a downturn in silver and gold prices, I hit pause.
Not because we failed — but because I saw a bigger picture coming together.
A few months later, I took a traveling gig with Capital Vacations, selling discounted trips and marketing offers at live events — including an unforgettable partnership with the Kansas City Royals. As I drove from city to city, talking to hundreds of people, I realized something: there’s still a massive need for honest, affordable travel—and people are hungry for new ways to make money, too.
That’s when Ramblin Riches evolved.
Who I Am
My name is Dustin Bloodgood, and I’ve been in the travel industry for over 7 years.
It all started in a call center with Hilton Grand Vacations, selling vacation packages over the phone. From there, I went into boat marketing, and then landed at Bluegreen Vacations, where I spent five years learning the ins and outs of the timeshare and resort business.
I managed teams, opened new locations across Springfield, Allen (TX), Hazelwood, and Independence (MO), and eventually traveled across the Midwest supporting sales floors from Oklahoma City to Kansas City, Memphis to St. Louis. That path gave me a front-row seat to the world of vacation sales—and taught me the value of being face-to-face with people, earning their trust, and helping them take the trip of a lifetime.
But life isn’t a straight line.
I stepped away from travel and jumped into roofing sales, where I made more money than I ever had before—but at the cost of 80-90 hour work weeks and barely any time with my family. I had two daughters now, Stormi and Sunni, and that’s when I realized I needed more than just a paycheck. I needed freedom.
That’s when I found myself back in travel—first with Holiday Inn, then with Capital Vacations, and all the while, I was helping launch and lead Peak Capital, a trading education company where I still serve as the Chief Sales Officer today. We help everyday people learn how to trade options and futures, and that part of my journey reminded me how powerful online income can be when done right.
