Mckenzie Hollis | DJ / Creative Marketing & Digital Content Consultant

“What’s meant for me will find me.” Each milestone in my career has felt like a natural progression from the steps before it. Losing my job during the pandemic unexpectedly led me to start my own social media consulting business and explore DJing—a journey that ultimately led to a residency in Los Angeles and some more major DJing opportunities on the way. Looking back, everything has always happened at the right time, and I remind myself of this whenever I am questioning my path. Read more>>

Yes it’s actually a bible verse, Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” This bible verse means SO much to me, I 1st heard it when I was in college my mom would say it to me whenever I was having a rough day. And now I repeat it to myself anytime I’m going through a hard moment where I feel down and undefeated. Especially with my business when I worry or am scared about certain things this bible verse helps me push through and not give up. Read more>>

Zoe Zheng | Multi-Disciplinary Designer & Bird

I am a simple girl, and my answer is going to be simple.
Honestly, one of my favorite quotes is:
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
This is from Steve Jobs’ graduation speech at Stanford University.
You really couldn’t say it better. It’s become a major part of my decision matrix ever since. Read more>>

Meghan Allison | Actress, Choreographer, and Theatre Producer

My favorite quote (and something I consider words to live by) came from one of my hugest inspirations, Dolly Parton. “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” We can’t predict our life, any more than we can predict the weather. We need to face our struggles and grow from them. Those tough times make us who we are. Read more>>

Elena Takmakova | Music producer, photographer & filmmaker

I do have a favorite quote that serves me as a reminder. Usually in times when I start worrying about my future and try to control my life. I don’t know who the author is but I like it. “No matter what you do, if it is not God’s plan, you can’t have it. Trust yourself but don’t ever rely on it”. Read more>>

Aya Sherian | Actress, Filmmaker, Theatre performer, and Lover of art

Yes, absoutely! A quote that I have carried with me for essentially my entire life is “Be the boss of your own body”. It was first told to me by my preschool teacher, Mrs. Pam, and then adopted by my father who reminds me of it every single day. I was told it throughout my entire childhood, but I don’t think I fully understood the meaning of the phrase until I turned 18. My elementary school self just took it at face value, but now it means so much more. Read more>>

Dhruvi Darji | Artist

“I am what I think of me and I know I am the protagonist of my story and of my life. My energy is magnetic What I desire is already mine. My success is inevitable.”
This particular affirmation uplifts, motivates and pushes me everyday to work on myself and grow as an individual! As an artist and as a creative, I believe in working on myself as an individual, polishing my art with practice, patience and proficiency everyday! Read more>>

Kyle Maddox | Actor & Writer

I listen to a lot of podcasts, most having to do with the art of acting, and I loved a quote I heard from the actor Michael Shannon. The quote was “It’s going to be interesting to somebody, and it’s going to be uninteresting to somebody else. You can’t win and you can’t lose.” He is talking about acting in this quote, and I think what he is communicating is that your performance will be graded one way or another, so don’t worry about it. It will affect some people one way, and others another way. Read more>>

Earth To Emily | Popstar

My mantra in creating music is “Make good music, be a good person.” For me, that always grounds me in what my objective and big picture is when I feel overwhelmed in this industry. If I succeed in that, I’ve already won. Read more>>

Andreanet | Model, actress, Dark fashion trend setter

My favorite affirmation is, ‘You are enough as you are.’ To me, this means embracing my authentic self, flaws and all, without the need for external validation. It serves as a reminder to be kind to myself, focus on my strengths, and trust that I am capable of handling whatever comes my way. I like it because it grounds me, especially in moments of self-doubt, and helps me stay true to who I am. Read more>>

“If you want to get something done, ask a busy person.” – Benjamin Franklin With over 300 active projects and 5,000 completed projects over the last 12 years since Crest Real Estate was established, I strongly believe that there is no substitute for a talented team committed to the work. Some pretty remarkable accomplishments occur when combined with efficiency and immediate attention to problem solving. Read more>>

Adam Haro

My favorite quote comes from the film ” American Me” by Edward James Olmos. “We make it Carnal; we don’t fake it, we take it”. In the Industry, the expression: Fake it til you make it, is thrown around a lot; as well as “get in where you fit in”. This way of thinking in my opinion is sickening and poisonous. Being Fake vs Being Real. Ask yourself do you want fake friends or real ones? People do all sorts of things for selfish reasons. Whether it’s Lying, Cheating, Stealing, or asking for money, favors, etc. Over and over again; just for 15 seconds of fame or a chance to climb to the social-economic ladder. Read more>>

Ellie Soufi

My favorite quote is “Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” This is something I have always lived by in my life and is something that continues to drive me in my passion for the arts. Building my business in the performing arts and mentoring the next generation of artists continues to inspire me every single day. Read more>>

Yoko Nomoto

My favorite quote is” What one likes, one will do well.” I don’t really like the word “talent”.　People usually use this word for giving up something. If you compared with other people before you start new things, you aren’t able to start anything. Because only those who have been doing it for a long time are doing it now, and no one will tell you that the process of getting there is hard.　So, at first glance, it appears that there are many talented people who are achieving results without much effort.

Pino Martinez

My favorite quote is with no risks comes no reward, I would keep reminding myself that I am never alone on my journey. I embrace challenges with determination and faith, knowing that divine guidance is always with me. Read more>>

Janet Goldberg

The secret Of this journey is to let the wind
Blow its dust all over your body,
To let it go on blowing, to step lightly, lightly
All the way through your ruins, and not to lose
Any sleep over the dead, who surely
Will bury their own, don’t worry. Read more>>
