We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road has been everything but smooth. As an entrepreneur, you will experience every high and low of journey, which often questions your faith. Testing ideas, building platforms, satisfied and unsatisfied customers, cash flow issues are just a few of the many struggles.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’ve been a professional DJ since 2008 and have had the opportunity to tour all over the world. During that process, my team developed a clothing brand Shop.GodsCreate.com that would accompany my journey around the globe. Creating a global footprint has been one of the greatest accomplishments for our brand. Being able to work alongside the greatest artist of my generation, such as the late great Mac Miller, Big Sean, J.Cole was a massive accomplishment. Furthermore, working with some of the countries largest companies was even more of a surprise. Brands such as Lowes, Tommy Hilfiger, Boost Mobile, Dope ENT (Rolling Loud), American Cancer Society, University of Central Florida, University of South Florida, Bethune Cookman, Florida State University have all provided awesome opportunities.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
YES!!!!!! The key to my success has been amazing mentors. I believe that I have a talent for finding great teachers who are masters at their crafts. Their aren’t many shortcuts in life and business but I can honestly say that finding quality mentors is one. Networking is another vital skill which will help you gain access to more opportunities in your field.
