We were lucky to catch up with Ar i evan Gold recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Ar i evan, thanks for joining us today. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

What sort of legacy are you hoping to build?
I hope to be remembered as one of the greatest writers of all time. A flashback to the 1960’s era of gonzo journalism.A writer who simply didn’t have the audacity to write about anything that I didn’t intimately know. This lived experience storytelling is the heart and blood that pumps the ink into my pen.

What do you think people will say about you after you are gone?
Alot more positive shit then they say right now.

What do you hope to be remembered for?
Originality. Passion. Loyalty.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

“Prior to publishing Trim Kamp, Gold has published insightful columns and feature articles across multiple platforms such as Snowboarder Magazine, Transworld Skateboarding, Transworld Snowboarding, Transworld Business, S.G. Magazine, Concussion Magazine, The Tahoe World, Lemonade Magazine, and more. With over 20 years of writing experience, Gold wanted to use his talents to craft an exhilarating read that would enrich people’s lives.

“When I worked for Snowboarder Magazine, I knew one day I would write a novel. I knew one day, I would live a tale worthy of being told. Trim Kamp is that experience,” shared the author. “Trim Kamp was waiting for me, and now the whole world gets to jump in the ‘turtle’ and go trim some weed.”

Furthermore, Trim Kamp is an eye-opener for those who have apprehensions towards the weed culture in the United States. Regardless of its prominence across the country, many still view cannabis for recreational use as wrongdoing. With his unique way with words, Gold managed to amplify the phenomenon as a culturally enriching experience. Every page is filled with thrilling adventures, making the book a rollercoaster ride everyone must tackle at least once in their lives.

With the growing success of his first novel, Gold shares that he is currently working on his next book, carrying the promise that his second masterpiece will be as worthwhile as the first.”

Ryan Pierre – NEW YORK WEEKLY

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Credibility through consistent action. The ability to show consistent ability to present new entertaining prose on deadline requires a different type of creative poise. Being able to pivot when needed is also a flexibility trait that doesn’t go unnoticed.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

It’s your pure creativity. Well, not exactly. It’s your blend of all of your own personal influences both conscious and unconscious. It’s people you have never met coming up to you , years after you have written something and they say, “Your column changed my perspective- on life”. That was pretty cool.
