  • WE-ekly Check In: 09/15/2019

    How are y'all doing?

    I decided to do a weekly check-in just to stay up to date with what I have been working on and to open discussion for everyone listening to chip in on what YOU have been working on. I want to encourage more people to interact, and especially as an entrepreneur, it is PERTINENT that you are not alone for one and secondly, that you cannot do this on your own.


    This past week for me was extremely productive. From all of the networking events that we went to, to then realizing that because I migrated the site, we weren't receiving emails (super embarrassing). But you live and you learn--as I always say--and I can only chuck that up to 'it was a learning experience overall' because Google does not make it easy to manually update your DNS settings to be able to receive G Suite emails. This week I am looking forward to reading. I have a long list of books that I want to complete by the end of this year and I have been slacking high key so I'm back on it. My mind seems to be reorganized again, so I'm feeling good. But that was all for this one.

    Feel free to open up and let's create a positive community for everyone to be able to join and interact with each other: The Entrepreneur+ on Facebook.

    S/O to PeteyPessimist, Dj Dub, and BluntsBuildBonds for a pretty cool conversation outside of that recording studio. It was super organic.

    Otherwise, see y'all on the next one! Peace!

    This past week for me was meh. The reason why I say meh is because it was up and down. The entire week until the weekend went great, but then for some reason, this past weekend felt mentally and emotionally draining. I knew I needed to unpack my ideas by honestly just spending time with family and myself. Some times I forget how far I’ve come mentally and this past weekend was a big reminder of how far I’ve come. What do you have on your list of to-do's this week? How did you do last week? Let me know!

    This past week was VERY productive for me, and I got a lot done including moving VMG's site, revamping the site and also getting my schedule down with my business partner, Manny. We have some meetings this week to attend, real estate ventures to pursue, and focus on growing VMG Inc. What do you have on your list of to-do's this week? How did you do last week? Let me know!

  • Sharing Your Life on Social Media ft. Rob and Levko
    Throughout this series of podcasts, Levko is the host.
    He and I talk with Fashion Designer and Creative genius, Rob. He is from the DMV area and we go over various topics from who he is to his journey through veganism, his views on mental transformations, and just a bunch of interesting insights that are not shown just on his social media.
    Rob found and began his clothing design for many years now and he along with his business partner created a second chance clothing brand called "Drifter's MD" where many pieces of clothing sat in a Thrift Store as somebody's trash but one person's trash is another's treasure right? So they have found some success building their own thrift store and Rob himself re-purposes clothing so because he truly can make whatever garment he touches look better with his own creative mind.
    We truly hope you enjoy these conversations to proceed and if you do, let us know which part was your favorite and if you want to be on the podcast, reach out to me. Maybe we can make something happen :)

    I just wanted to discuss how this last week I was extremely unproductive, but the two weeks prior I was focused. It's just like that some days and there is nothing wrong with it at all. We have to embrace those down times because life is about balance, and if you are down, you WILL get back up. Now read that again with your best Donnie McClurkin voice. If you don't know that song listen to it.

  • Let's Catch Up: Henry "Chief" Ventura

    I met Henry during high school in our guitar class. He -- even then -- was a phenomenal guitarist. Over time, I watched Henry grow deeper into his craft, or so I thought. Listen to the entire podcast to hear what we talk about.

    Throughout my discussions with more and more people, I've noted a couple of things that each person seems to have in common which is that we all have a rise, a fall, and a rebirth (of sorts). Henry discussed how he really felt his truest when he was in high school playing the guitar. The fall comes post-high school when life hit him and he decided to party too much. He fell from his path. He fell far and this routine of bad habits led to further issues. The moment he was at his lowest, he spoke about how he learned who his true friends were. He learned who was really going to be there for him, but he also learned that he needed to protect his peace.

    Protect your peace. That's the most important philosophy that I've discovered recently also and the energy that it took me to hone in and focus on drew me toward more people with similar energy. There are various people that I've either have come back into my life or came into my life, all are on the same wavelength as me -- but we all have our one thing to keep us grounded. Henry goes on and explains how getting back into his craft instead of pursuing what was not truly him really pushed him to learn that. We aren't taught about real life in school. We aren't taught about dealing with those ups and downs in school.

    I want to thank Henry for hosting us in his basement studio for this podcast and dropping many gems throughout the podcast.

    Follow him on his socials:

    As always, thank you for tuning into another podcast. I hope you all enjoyed this one, and if so let me know down in the comments or in a review. See you all on the next poddy, gang gang
