Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Alain Gonzalez-Mule. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alain, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Do you wish you had started sooner?
I started doing stand-up comedy when I was about 21 years old at the original Miami Improv in Coconut Grove. Doing stand-up back then included waiting 2-3 hours just to get 5-10 mins of stage time, but its what I loved doing so you just suck it up. After a few years of doing stand-up and getting eliminated from every comedy competition I entered in the first round, I decided to give stand-up comedy a break. That was a big mistake. I ultimately found my way back to doing stand-up because it was a driving passion of mine and I realized that those few years I took off really set me back from the goals that I had wanted to achieve. Sometimes its good to start from square one but it can really kill your spirit and ego when coming back to a scene that you know all to well only to be treated like a rookie again. My advice is that when you want to do something, you go for it! Don’t ever stop. The only thing that can kill your dream is YOU. Start early, and keep going.
Alain, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I started dabbling in stand-up comedy when I was probably 15 years old when I would say jokes in between my friends music sets so their wouldn’t be any dead noise. I quickly found out that I had a real passion for story telling and making people laugh so I found my way into the world of professional stand-up comedy. I produce shows all around the city of Miami and hire some of the best local and out of state talent that I can find. What really sets me apart from other comedy producers is my ability to attract sponsors and my current relationships with large brands in the food and beverage industry. When throwing a show at your venue I bring massive amounts brand recognition in sponsors that attract patrons and add value to the show and your establishment. I just recently did a comedy show with the Miami Zoo to spread awareness and raise money for conservation. We had over 100+ attendees at a local Miami Brewery “Lincolns Beard” and it was a huge success. I’m really proud of this show in particular because it was for a cause much bigger than myself and I felt like I was telling jokes for a reason. We were able to raise a significant amount of money for the Miami Zoo and it felt great knowing that every dime of that went into animal conservation within the city I was born and raised in. I’m looking forward to the next “Stand-up for Conservation” comedy show and keep your eyes peeled for it, because they’re only going get bigger and better.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
First of all, the average person who tells you they actually know what an NFT is has no idea what they are talking about. The art world in general has always been a place of shady transactions and money laundering. The whole things just feels like the new wave art scene, where millennials can scam and get scammed out of money. Having a popular NFT now feels like that B.S membership card that fraudster Billy McFarland made: Magneses. It feels like the NFT goes up and down in value but no one really cares, its evolving into a “membership” type of thing that you can use to make exclusive purchases and get access to bougie club houses and etc… sounds a lot like a scam. If you don’t know exactly what you’re doing in the NFT game you are going to lose a lot of money my friend.
Question not found
I for one don’t have a massive following on social media. I’ve made content that’s garnered a few thousand views and such consistently but I’m no 15 year old tik-tok star that has 100K-1M followers by just dancing around a gender-neutral non binary stuffed animal. My advice is this: social media can be one of the best tools you ever use to grow your brand but it can also break you down mentally. Social media is addictive and has a lot of negative repercussions from continual use. Constantly waking up seeking affirmation by an animated heart or a senseless view count? C’mon man. The world is out there and inside of you, not on some cell phone screen. However, I do think that consistently posting content on a daily schedule can increase your presence significantly and I do encourage someone who wants to build their brand online to do just that. Be consistent, find an identity and stick to it. You will find your audience
