We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Gerald Washington a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Gerald thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
I came up worth the idea when i was 16 years old admiring Marc Ecko of Complex Mag. After having my first job I decided I wanted to work for myself and wanted it to involve things that interested me like music and fashion. It wasn’t until i was a sophomore at University that I realized my endeavor of being a blogger/publisher was worthwhile. I got the chance to meet artist such as Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa and MGK. I wanted to be an online only publication all other popular publishers at the time had printed magazines that where released regularly. My unique approach was that my blog is global on the world wide web and could be accessed from around the globe 24/7. I promoted that anyone with a dream of becoming a star could be one,
Gerald , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
