Elvis Elvarki on animating himself into an animator | I Know Great People

Elvis joined me in I Know Great People in the same intentional way he has come into his creative self. Hearing about how Elvis took advantage of opportunities and sought out resources for his personal growth was reinforcing conversation for the 1 Million Thriving Artist goal of seeing 1 Million Thriving Artists on the African continent. Especially in contrast to the last conversation with Baraka, a veteran of the creative industry in Kenya, about how entering the various fields were 25 years ago.

Be like @elviselvarki in pursuing what you want to achieve and that can in no way hurt to eventually achieving your goals.

New York City Restaurant Management with Stephen Thomas Kirschner | I Know Great People

Stephen Kirschner started this series years ago and is now the first one back for a followup conversation. This time we talk about his recent experience in managing restaurants in New York City.

New York City is one of the, if not the food capital of the world. That may be seen as more chances for one to find employment but also has the challenge of increased competition. Been glad to see Stephen advance in his career in food service and manage to make it in New York City with all it’s considerations. Maybe in another 10 years he will be back with a conversation about how he opened a restaurant in NYC!
