No Permission Needed With Ozeal

What's up!! It's been awhile. I've been deep in the trenches as I like to say getting things ready for 2019. A  bit overwhelmed but super excited to kick off 2019 the right way. With new challenges, projects but with the same vision. To teach. To share. To build a tight community of creative entrepreneurs from all over the world. I'm ready to take this to the next level and help you on your journey.  I decided to drop a solo episode so share all the latest and what to expect in 2019. We're doing a few tweaks here and there to the over-all theme of the brand. Nothing major.  Want to know what's coming up next? Take a listen...

The purpose behind my art is to INSPIRE. Louie Blaka If you're a creative with a vision to make ART your business and purpose, this is a great conversation with a creative entrepreneur who has given himself permission to create a sustainable career through his art.  In this chat, I speak with Louie Blaka, a creative entrepreneur was influenced deeply by his city roots in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

The belief that artists of all demographics should be given the chance to share their gift is of great importance to him. He has also been active within the street art community creating murals that can be seen throughout cities in New Jersey, Miami, and Brazil. I discovered Louie after reading the book "Crushing It" by Gary Vaynerchuk. The entrepreneur rockstar himself revered Louie as someone who is following his blueprint of success and crushing it in his own way. Take a listen. Be inspired
