Who says success has to be measured in titles or trophies? What if it was about the number of times you genuinely belly laugh in a day…the kind that makes your face hurt?That was the energy during my talk at @fullsail. We laughed a lot but we also got real. We briefly dug into my story: the early days, the unexpected encounters that shifted my career trajectory, the rough patches, the wins, and the wild detours in between.It was an absolute privilege to speak at such a renowned school, and I walked away feeling energized; not just from sharing, but from learning. The students brought bold questions, fresh perspectives, and serious curiosity.Grateful for the experience, and excited to be returning for another conversation on May 14th. Thank you to @youknowjefe, @thequeenmarva, and @fs_bsu for seeing the light in me and wanting me to share that same light with others 🛩️ @catelynrichardphotography 📸 by @uptownortiz

Producing this event was a real highlight! @mschf brilliant approach of mixing pop culture and social relations made for an unforgettable conversation. With @merrill support, we hosted around 80 guests for a vibrant discussion that moved from the world’s tiniest handbag to $76,000 Birkenstocks compiled from Birkin Bags and other headline-making art controversies. The evening was packed with smart insights, big laughs, and exactly the kind of energy we hoped to create. Looking forward to produce more events like this in the near future w/ @jayaram_law by @uptownortiz
