Keegan Pitz, The Next Big Idea: AirBnB meets SoundCloud Search Engine
2017. He wrote the idea on a napkin in a coffee shop (Starbucks?) in San Francisco, sat down with an investor at a pitch night, got invited at Capitol Music Records in Los Angeles, California. Music to their ears. That was it. He was the genius inheriting a fortune akin to Napster. Unfortunately,...

Damu Bob, Digital Producing For Damu's
Digital producing seems like a career fit for a younger candidate. Well, they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but not for 47-year old Damu Bob who has been doing this for a while. Sports and Damu is what is a ball to a net. The human mind is inescapably fascinating (to me); he briefly...

Shukura Halliday-Shimura, Alexa, play Love In An Elevator by Aerosmith
PICTURE THIS: You're 20 years old, and the ding of the elevator signals you to go in. School just ended, and you just can't wait to go home. As you pressed the button for the doors to close, a hand blocks it, a boy's hand. He caught the elevator in time to ride with you. 10 years later, that same...

Alon Shalom, Kiss and Tel Aviv
That’s the thing about older, attractive, gay men, they move on and don’t look back. The human mind is inescapably fascinating (to me), how a 22-year old Israeli heartthrob had loved a woman with all his heart; she the jet black-haired catalyst for his thriving by-appointment only hair salon in...

Kelly Landry, Maine Character Energy
Some women had the misfortune of getting ghosted at the altar on their wedding day. 36-year old Kelly Landry, who at 21, ‘fresh off the boat’ at LAX was stranded on what’s supposed to be her winning day. You don’t know heartbreak like she did. Three years later, she has become Nickelodeon’s...

Tianna Kim, Cogito, Virgo Sum. I Think Therefore, I am Virgo.
Trust Starbucks patron and USC Law student will teach me the difference among England, Britain, and United Kingdom, and using them interchangeably makes you sound——let’s just grab a map! Like the true Virgo she is—August 26th, she forms a thought a mile a minute, she talks fast, overthinks,...

Tanvi Patel, Stop, License, and Listen

Nico Robin, Small Town Boy, French Dreamer
Just a small town boy, living in a lonely world. He took the midnight train, straight to Hollywood. 35-year old French actor Nico Robin couldn’t as possibly be remotely cringey of an actor as Scott Eastwood. But sure hell you look twice making sure it’s not him. Tell me, are actors born or made?...

Artur Ignatenko, Ukrainian Refugee Actor
How far will you go to be an actor? How about fleeing the Ukraine-Russia War? 26-year old Starbucks patron Artur Ignatenko is an old friend of mine. Living every actor’s wet dream in his home country, getting booked for movie roles left and right, the war inevitably as it was unexpected for him...
