On this Q&A during quarantine, a lot of the questions are geared towards TruckBux evolution as a business and brand, how the business is weathering the current storm with the pandemic, and insightful leadership tactics and learnings from Nick. Many of things touched on are not only a what an entrepreneur should emulate, but any individual in any calling, as well.

As Dave puts it, "In most companies, there is a visionary and an integrator. Will is the visionary. I am the integrator." 

Dave and Will have a special bond and with that bond, and with their team at REC Philly, they are forging a unique path to fulfill a vision they first had for artists, musicians, and all-around creatives. It has been more than a decade of many realizations that have accumulated to this moment for both Dave and Will. From managing artists in college and throwing parties in frats, to building their first facility in North Philly and then recently at 9th and Market - the Fashion District of Philadelphia.

It has been a beautifully, strenuous journey in building out this dream and vision, but Dave and Will are grateful for the entire process. In this episode, they dive into their story, the lessons learned along the way, and advice for everyday entrepreneurs and creatives like yourself.

As Josh Gershon says, "Fear is just a manipulation of love." That, along with many other things mentioned by Josh in this episode, shattered my original thinking. In saying that, I absolutely promise you that this episode will bring you some type of value. Whether it be clarity, insight, or amplification on something happening in your life.

On this Founder Series episode, it get's real deep. In talking to Josh Gershon (as of 2019), who is the Co-founder and Chief Storyteller of Startup Island, there were many realizations. Things we discussed include: Josh's story, the Startup Island way, fear, entrepreneurship, building a community, long-term growth, understanding ego, and more.

This Founder Series episode is also sponsored by Startup Island. If you love traveling and have an entrepreneurial mind, Startup Island is the way to go.  From workshops in Costa Rica, hanging in the Dominic Republic with amazing people, and exponentially growing your personal and professional life, Startup Island has so much to offer. If you don't believe me, check out these testimonials for yourself.

You'll feel it in this video. You'll definitely notice it in person too.

Over the past couple of years, Nick Nanakos has taken his confidence to bout with entrepreneurship (even dropping out of college at age 22). In doing so, he has built a seemingly unbreakable heart for his company Truck Bux. His experience in sports and entrepreneurship go hand in hand and in this episode we dive into topics revolving around those exact things and many other values that lay the foundation to live a good life.

Truck Bux is a platform that brings people to food trucks and food trucks to people. With recent successes and their launch of food delivery, Truck Bux is one to watch....... as a blueprint for learning and for utter admiration.

Does something seem different about this episode? Well, there's a reason for that. 

This episode is an exclusive, new segment called "Founder Series", where we interview entrepreneurs making substantial waves, building amazing things, and as always...............improving themselves as much as possible.

"Entrepreneurship is not running a startup itself, it's a mindset." Danish Dhamani has the mindset. He definitely has the skill too. 

Over the past several years, Danish has developed himself to the highest degree and in doing so he has been the lead architect in creating Orai, a personal AI speech coach. In this episode we talk about self-development, the criteria around making a great product, trying many things, being vulnerable, asking for help, intuition, hard work, and the rough edges of entrepreneurship.

Dap Talk Friday is a short, brief episode that will be posted on Friday's in which Anthony D'Apolito III, Creator of Dream BIG & Co, talks about a variety of topics. It is concise and it gets to the grit of the message.

5 questions that will help in assisting you to stay on course:

1) Is this action in line with my identity and will it bring me closer to who I want to become?

2) Is this within my control? 

3) If habits create behavior, behavior creates action, and life is the culmination of our actions (and thoughts), what are my current habits?

4) What are my priorities? What is most important at this moment?

5) Do my actions match my ambition? Am I mindful and practicing of my self-love?

If you liked this episode, take a screenshot of it on your phone/tablet/computer, repost it on social media, use the hashtag #DapTalkFriday, and tag us @dreambigandco Let's connect and grow together.

Patience. Perspective. Purpose.

Along with Bishoy's mantra, we also discussed topics consisting of obstacles, focus, sacrifice, celebrating the small wins, the process, big goals, diligence, perseverance, and more.   

As Bishoy says, "The comeback is always greater than the setback." Bishoy has had his fair share of obstacles and setbacks in life. But as he says in this episode, they are more so gifts of opportunity to grow and learn. Born in Egypt, diagnosed with Leukemia (more specifically called ALL) at the age of 3, moving to the US with his family at a young age, growing within his career path, and running ultra races, has given Bishoy a unique perspective. Those are things that have equipped Bishoy to take on any barrier in life.  

And Bishoy continues to take strides to new levels like becoming the #1 fundraiser in the country for the NYC Marathon in 2018, giving speeches, growing mentally and physically, becoming an author with the release of his new book, and whatever is yet to come.
