“I’ll never work for anybody else again,” Stan Williams says without hesitation. Not out of anger—but out of clarity. For him, freedom was never about escaping work. It was about owning his destiny.
That conviction didn’t come overnight. It was forged over decades of experience, hard lessons, and an unshakable belief that your name is worth more than any paycheck.

Stan Williams is the kind of man whose story doesn’t fit neatly into a résumé. A retired Ford auto worker by 37, a lifelong entrepreneur by instinct, and today the COO and Vice President of Textergram—an AI-powered messaging platform built on privacy, integrity, and value.
But to understand why Textergram exists, you have to understand Stan.
“I come from a long line of men who worked for themselves,” he explains. “My great-grandfather owned a construction company. My grandfather had his own plastering business. My father ran multiple companies. Independence was always the example.”
For a while, responsibility pulled him into the safety of a job—benefits, steady income, family to support. But the seed was already planted. And in 2003, it finally broke through.
That year, a friend invited him over for bourbon and barbecue—and introduced him to a different way of living. What began with a framed first check of just $36 became the moment Stan realized something fundamental: freedom could be built.
Textergram wasn’t born out of hype. It was born out of frustration—and purpose.
After years in business, Stan saw the same problems over and over again: cluttered group chats, privacy concerns, spam filters, expired credits, and messaging tools that took more than they gave.
So when his late business partner envisioned a better system, Stan stepped in—not just as an executive, but as a builder of people and ideas.
“Our goal was simple,” he says. “Create something that actually solves problems—and do it the right way.”
Textergram allows users to send private group texts where replies come back only to the sender. Messages are translated automatically across more than 50 languages. Texts are rephrased to avoid spam filters, corrected for typos, and sent in natural intervals so they feel human. Credits never expire. And unlike many apps, Textergram doesn’t ask for access to your photos, location, or microphone.
“We don’t want your data,” Stan says plainly. “We just want to help you communicate better.”
If there’s one thing Stan despises, it’s dishonesty.
“My name has always been more valuable to me than money,” he says. “I don’t know how to be fake.”
That principle has cost him before. He’s walked away from deals. He’s taken losses—including one painful six-figure hit from a project that turned out to be a scam. But he doesn’t regret it.
“Not all money is good money,” he says. “I choose distance over drama.”
That mindset defines Textergram, too. The company owns its entire infrastructure end-to-end, which allows it to offer some of the lowest messaging rates on the market—without locking users into expiring credits or invasive permissions.
Even more telling: the app gives away real value for free. Five tools. No obligation.
“We’re giving value whether people spend a dime or not,” Stan says. “That matters to us.”
Today, Textergram is backed by more than 80 investors from diverse backgrounds and is already live on the Android Play Store—reaching a potential global audience of billions. Athletes, creators, business professionals, and even celebrities use it quietly, not as endorsements, but because it works.
But Stan is quick to shift the focus away from himself.
“This isn’t about me,” he insists. “It’s about the team. People who believed in a vision and came together to build something real.”
The road forward is ambitious—by design. The company’s long-term goal is clear growth, strong adoption, and eventually, a legacy-level outcome.
But for Stan, success isn’t measured only in numbers.
“There’s a difference between a life and a lifestyle,” he says. “A life is being told what you can earn. A lifestyle is deciding for yourself.”
That’s what he wants to leave behind—for his children, his grandchildren, and for the people who trust the work he puts into the world.
And if there’s one thing he hopes readers feel after learning his story, it’s this: this is a company built by people who mean what they say—and stand behind what they build.
