Join Nikki C as she meets with entrepreneur Joseph Rivers as talks about how he got started with his company and how he is moving forward building his brand and his next steps.

Gust Biography

Joseph Rivers, also known as Prince of Nostalgia, is an author, screenwriter, entrepreneur, and public speaker born in Lynwood, CA. Rivers has proven to be a sought-after voice for the transcendence of one's mind, community activism, inspirational conventions, and the production of creative content infused with his love of the city he grew up in, Compton, CA. With a keen sense of wisdom passed down from his grandmother's teachings, Rivers developed a powerful sense of individuality that transcended his art. As a result, Rivers created and founded the apparel, literary, and publication company Land of Nostalgia in 2020, giving life to the motto — For the Creative, by the Creative.

In 2021, Land of Nostalgia became a multi-million dollar brand instilled in all things nostalgia that reminds us of his love for the 90s. Additionally, Rivers has spoken around the country, continuously embodying the belief that every human has the mental capacity to transcend their former self while not being defined by their circumstances.
