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

Hi Hector, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I think it’s community. I have learned since my humble beginnings that you should surround yourself with people who uplift you. People that you can learn from and people that you see yourself growing up with.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I love to create content around positivism and community engagement. I have learned that there are enough terrible things in the world to continue to pile up. Instead, I love to create content that uplifts people, changes their moods, and excites them to do the same. It wasn’t easy initially because I started with a blog and knew nothing about Social Media. I love chatting with everyone, which has helped me create a community that is continuously checking on me, wants to see me win, and is very supportive, and I feel very blessed for all of them.

I have learned that no matter what you do if you have a community to support you, that’s all you need.

I want the world to know that we must learn to live in the present, enjoy what life has given us, and always try to find the positive side to things.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would love to take them to Great White on Melrose Ave for brunch and show them around the city, from Griffith Park to downtown to the Moca and LACMA Museums. Have lunch at Pine & Crane in Silverlake, sip on a matcha latte from Cha Cha Cha, go to the thrift shopping at Wasteland, and finish dinner at one of my favorite spots, Mirate on Vermont/ Hollywood,

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My ex-boss Jennifer Lopez (not the one from The Bronk). She allowed me to learn anything PR related, showing me what it takes to run an agency and how to embrace your culture while making your clients shine through her PR strategies.
