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

Hi Lenay, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I love business !! lol. no but for real I love starting ‘companies’ by myself or with friends or family, and by companies i mean startup ideas most of which flop but i learn something every time and im not afraid to fail ! & guess what a few have worked yayyy. so I guess my thought process is … ooo this idea seems fun let’s try it ! now how can i connect dots and people to make it happen

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.
i love music !! I’ve had 4 shows so far , and just this year (month really) I’m starting to toy with the idea of presenting my show as a dj set instead , I went to an NFT music festival in Vegas (called AfterParty) and I was super inspired !! opened up some new dreams for me maybe or paths to explore , it’s cool how meeting 1 person or having 1 new experience can do that and maybe change your life course a bit .. or a lot

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.
dayglow coffee shop… intelligentsia coffee shop … lol . basically all the coffee shops . and say hi to Tom at dayglow if he’s there he owns it and has a lot of tattoos and is super chill. that and the cliché hike up Runyon . cliché and awesome 🤓

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
i just started getting really curious and into learning , i luv the apps medium and blinkist right now, and reading other peoples stories on audio books , right now I’m half way through Arnold Schwarzenegger’s book, and on blinkist I’m trying to learn a bit about marketing & sales just because I feel i don’t know enough about them yet, so shoutout to all my books !!
