We had the good fortune of connecting with Geno Pacino and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Geno, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I don’t want to just be a person who works until retirement age. I want to create something where I can both utilize my talents and give back to the world. We are capable of greater than we even imagine for ourselves

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart from other artists is the only person capable of being me is me. I have a story & perspective unique to myself & my journey. I am most excited by the opportunity to share my story, thoughts & ideas with the world. I got to where I’m from by a chance opportunity of me attending a game night & people getting the opportunity to hear me rap and were really impressed. Everyday has been different since that day. It has most definitely been hard but also rewarding. I overcome all challenges by just continuing to move forward. I want the world to know I am both the future and the present I just want more people to get the opportunity to hear my music.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
A cubs game. We would have to get some pizza 🍕 I’m a big Home Runn Inn fan. I know it’s maybe a generic answer but every part of my city is amazing I can’t point to just one thing.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
