The Right CEO

I've been learning so much about business over the past two years, since I quit my job and started my own company.

No one ever taught me this stuff… not my teachers, not my parents, no one. Self-education via the internet has been my only lifeline in entrepreneurship and business.

I'm dedicated to packaging all that I learn into lessons for my community, peers and friends. It's a journey of self-development that I hope you'll walk with me.

😓 With a heavy heart, I'm closing Labs DTLA 💔 It was fun while it lasted, but our landlord isn't happy with the size and noise-level of our bigger bookings. I'm chalking it up as a loss and planning for my next move 🧮

Read the rest of the story in these images ↘️

I'm hosting a closing reception on the weekend of September 24/25. We'll probably do an art and music showcase with food+drink. To receive a direct invite, text "LAST DANCE" to 323-716-0714 📲

Doors close on September 27, 2021… so in the meantime, the space is available for small-scale:
• photoshoots and film shoots
• catering and dining engagements
• dance and audition rehearsals
• office and meeting work
• mixer and soiree events (cutoff 10pm)
• and anything more you can think of

Comment here, tag your people who would be interested and share this with them too 🗯 Let's make the most of this space while we still have it 💯 and make beautiful memories too ❤️‍🩹

🥸 Glasses or no glasses? 🤔

I really want Lasik eye surgery 😩 I'm near-sighted and need glasses to recognize who's actually making eye contact with me from a distance 🥴

The Definition of Success

Each person may have different indicators of success… yet as long as you're progressing in a field that you LOVE (or at least, care about and enjoy- one that fulfills you,) then you are experiencing success, and are thus successful 🏅

Reaching milestones and destinations come with intentional progress. Goal-setting is highly important, yet your goals are not the end-all-be-all. Because even when you achieve your goals, you still have life left to live and anxieties outside of those goals.

Make sure you're doing what makes you happy, on a daily basis. Track your progress to tangibly improve your situation regularly. And don't compare yourself to others, who have progressed further than you. Stay focused on your own path.

🏬 I love 🏤 my streets 🏦 of Downtown LA 🏛

🏬 I love 🏤 my streets 🏦 of Downtown LA 🏛 The neighborhood has it's flaws… it's dirty, smelly and deafeningly loud- yet it's exciting and energizing and liberating 🤩 I can feel comfortable being who I want to be, because there are others who are equally as eccentric, creative and audacious ⚡️

LA makes the world go 'round 🌎 so why not live in the heart of it? 💙

📝 Note to Self: DON'T PROCRASTINATE on projects/tasks that you know are important ‼️ Figure out when you can make time to get to work and accomplish these things, one at a time ☑️

You'll feel amazing when you do and can be proud of yourself! 🏅 Small accomplishment build up to longterm success.

This Wednesday, I sat down at my laptop at 9pm for three hours straight to research and write an entire e-book guiding entrepreneurs how to use social media and e-commerce to grow their business. I'm nearly done with it and am excited to publish it.

Whatever goal you have, you can make it happen. Focus and get to work 💪🏽

I'm an artist 🏁

I'm an artist 🏁 and I don't claim it enough… Why is it such a stigma to be an artist or creative? Is it because those are not traditional professional careers?

Fortunately, society is shifting, in that many more people are exploring their creativity, and making careers out of it.

The creative entrepreneur is my highest ideal. I'm working to make it work.

🤫 For those of you asking to hear my music… this is a demo I wrote, produced and recorded in 2017 🙈 I never finished it and it sits in the vault, along with countless other songs 🔐

This track is influenced by my love for Blink-182 and s*x 💘 I sped it up by 2% to make these two verses fit into 30 seconds.

If anyone out there is interested in making music with me… holler 🗣

🎹 an intimate lil piano freestyle… 🎶 Most people don't know, beginning in 2010, I enjoyed a five-year music career as an original artist, musician, songwriter, performer, DJ, engineer and record producer in-studio.

I gave it up to pursue tech, then marketing- yet music has always been in me… I play my piano here and there, always telling myself I'll take lessons to get better.

It's really just a practice in catharsis 🧘🏽‍♂️ though I have a feeling my music career will revive very soon…
