Jovica Grbic is back on the podcast for Episode 11. In this episode we discuss the game of chess. Jovica learned how to play chess at a very young age and says that it is a strategic game that requires a lot of thinking and planning. He also believes that a lot of real life lesson can be learned from it. Along with Jovica's passion for chess, he is also very passionate about our Serbian community in Illinois and the rest of the United States. He now wishes to combine the two passions together by organizing a chess tournament. He started his company, Talas Entertainment, for the sole purpose of bringing our community closer together through different events, such as a chess tournament. Please support Jovica's vision by joining the tournament, telling someone you know who enjoys playing chess or someone who wants to learn how to play, and by following his Instagram @talasentertainment. I ask you to support him not for him, but for all of us and the future generations that are ahead of us.

Jovica Grbić se vratio na podkast za Epizodu 11. U ovoj epizodi govorimo o partiji šaha. Jovica je vrlo mlad naučio da igra šah i kaže da je to strateška igra koja zahteva mnogo razmišljanja i planiranja. Takođe veruje da se iz toga može izvući mnogo životni lekcija. Uz Jovičinu strast prema šahu, on je veoma strastven i za našu srpsku zajednicu u Ilinoisu i ostatku Sjedinjenih Država. Sada želi da spoji dve strasti zajedno organizovanjem šahovskog turnira. Osnovao je svoju kompaniju Talas Entertainment da približi našu zajednicu kroz različite događaje, kao što je šahovski turnir. Molim vas da podržite Jovičinu viziju sa pridruženjem turnira, reći nekome koga poznajete ko voli da igra šah ili nekome ko želi da nauči kako da igra, i da zapratite njegov Instagram @talasentertainment. Molim vas da ga podržite ne za njega, već za sve nas i buduće generacije koje su pred nama.

Bojana Ilic, artist name Bojitt, is a Serbian-born, Chicago based artist who paints bold stories in an abstract way. Bojitt holds a degree in Clothing and Textile Design from College of Textile - Design, Technology and Management (DTM) in Belgrade, Serbia. Following a successful career in the fashion industry and after moving to the United States in 2007, she decided to shift her focus to her other passion, painting. Bojitt has murals and paintings across Chicago and also does commission work; painting people's unique and personal stories.

Art is Bojitt's passion and it is truly amazing that she has built her career around it. Bojitt is an inspiration to myself, giving me that extra push and belief that I too should follow my passion in life.

”My mission is to empower and inspire others to break the surface level of communication and dig deeper to who we really are, to our feelings and how do we share our life stories with each other. That's provoking and inspiring! - my art is an end product of this exchange.” - BOJITT -

Get to know DJ Spaz in Episode 9. DJ Spaz gave my generation and other generations a place for us to go out, have fun, and meet others from the Serbian and Balkan community in Chicago and across the United States and Canada.
