Here’s the story behind Gordon Square’s newest coffee shop.I stopped by Atmosphere during their soft opening and spoke with founder Zack about the idea behind the shop.After speaking with him and learning what went into building this space, it’s clear this isn’t just another coffee shop.The name Atmosphere isn’t random either. Zack designed the space around that idea, creating a place where the environment, the people, and the energy all shape the experience by @williamaiken

Claw Boba Snack is a quaint little store in @asiatowncleveland Tons of snacks you can only find in Asian countries, and the same type of claw machines they have there as well. Tons of flavors of bubble tea to choose from! Also, they can prepare your ramen noodles you buy on the shelves !! Grab a tea, play a game, and forget the outside world for a few minutes!! A huge shoutout and thanks to the coolest collaborators around @thaon_art and @williamaiken who were my go to dream team !! They’re doing some really cool digital stories on the restaurants in @asiatowncleveland !! Check them out !! by @williamaiken

Cleveland’s restaurant scene is shifting fast.Every week we’re seeing another restaurant close and the comments always say “I loved that place.”But love doesn’t keep restaurants open.Consistency does. Visibility does. Repeat customers do.As someone working in the Cleveland restaurant marketing space, I’ve seen firsthand that the spots that survive aren’t always the best food. They’re the ones that stay in front of their customers and give people a reason to come back.What Cleveland restaurant do you hope never closes? by @williamaiken

Here are 3 things no one really tells you about entrepreneurship:1. You’re never going to feel “ready.” The clarity comes after you start, not before.2. Consistency beats motivation every time. The boring days are the ones that actually build momentum.3. Sacrifice is temporary, but regret lasts way longer. Comfort will cost you more than hard work ever will.Entrepreneurship isn’t for the lighthearted but if you work hard and sacrifice, it all works out in the end ✨2026 is here. Stop waiting for permission and go after what you deserve!Studio | @sparkstudioscle ⚡️ by @williamaiken

Nobody wants to be sold.Nobody remembers your pitch.They remember how you made them feel.Most people show up trying to prove their worth.Smart people?They show up with curiosity.Ask better questions.Actually listen.Don’t try to be impressive.Be interested.That’s what builds trust.That’s what gets you invited back.Real networking doesn’t feel like networking. by @williamaiken

Flew all the way to Japan to sing with my friends 🇯🇵It’s crazy how music connects people no matter what language you speak or where you’re from. The power of harmony really brings everyone together one chord at a time.Special shoutout to @the.beantones and my high school best friend @grant.heineman for sharing that power of music with the world.#JapanTrip #BarbershopHarmony by @williamaiken

“You changed.” 🦂Yeah… I did.I was chasing what looked fun but felt empty. God had been calling, I just wasn’t listening.When I finally surrendered, everything shifted.I still fall short. Still learning. Still letting go of old versions of me.But I’m getting closer.If He can do it for me, He can do it for you too. by @williamaiken

2025: The year to try, fail, and grow.Today was all about stepping out of my comfort zone. Skiing for the first time was scary, but sometimes the things that scare you the most are the most rewarding.Push through the fear. Embrace the challenge. On the other side is where the fun is waiting.#NewYearNewChallenges #2025Goals by @williamaiken
