Work Smarter

Known as ""Mr. Work Smarter"", Denis Asamoah—co-founder and CEO of FORVR Mood, a lifestyle brand founded by Nigerian-American beauty content creator, US Army veteran, and makeup artist Jackie Aina—kicks off the show with his favorite productivity tool: the Pomodoro Technique. Writing his 3 most important tasks down before bed so that he's ready for the morning is his best advice for everyone who wants to Work Smarter. Working smarter allows Denis to spend more time with his partner, Jackie Aina and to indulge in self care. Coming from a background in finance and creating his own company, Denis is no stranger to the startup game. Denis doesn't shy away from failures and believes that the only way to learn, grow, and scale a company is to address failure head on. He talks about working harder and working smarter to outperform, then deliver results. Denis dives deep into the long term value of content, storytelling and firmly declares: ""The future is the creator economy."" He also shares how he and Jackie made the conscious decision to not mix business with the personal in the early days of their relationship and how that later enabled them to co-found FORVR Mood and scale to 7-digits within weeks of launching.     Bio: Denis Asamoah is a passionate advisor to creators and helps turn their influence into a business. Denis is also the co-founder of FORVR Mood, alongside his fiance Jackie Aina. Denis’ mission is to empower more POC creators to follow their dreams and launch brands.    ""There is a Reason there is a Team."" - Denis Asamoah   Follow @forvrmood and @denisasamoah or visit https://forvrmood.com/!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
