What is your experience like working with a variety of artists? This industry is a lot of fun. Do not mistake the fun for a lack of hard work, this job is a continuous grind that forces you to continue to grow. It's the best of both worlds I get to do what I love and help people reach their dreams which is my favorite part. How has Covid 19 impacted your business?
Since Covid It has been hard for me to recruit new talent and create deals and sponsorships. It also slowed down and changed the market. Since there were no in person games or events we had to figure out ways that we would still produce. What inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I was inspired to become an entrepreneur when I was fired from my job when my son was six months old. From then I realized I wanted to be my own boss. Being able to start from nothing and build what I have makes me proud. I know that I am putting my family in a better place due to my sacrifices. What advice would you give someone when interested in working in the entertainment business? The best advice I could offer anyone who is joining the industry and specifically my role, you must like putting people in a better position than you are and you have to love your job. This is a very selfless job but it's very rewarding. What does success look like for you? Success is completing the goals you set out for yourself. A Lot of times people compare their success to others but I think its important to do things on your time and that best benefit your life. How can we follow you?
