We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful International Kool. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with International below.

International, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.

Wow ! So , I’m zooming through a packed airport in the Windy City of Chicago ! I noticed a woman wearing a very innovative backpack for her travel accessory! I spoke with her briefly and complimented on how sleek and lightweight her backpack looked ! We parted ways before I headed to my connecting flight to San Fransisco (SFO) for a recording session in Oakland ! Wildy enough , after boarding my plane the exact same woman was sitting next to me with her BallnAudio®️ backpack ! We exchanged information and after a couple of years of emails and formality ! I met with the CEO of BallnAudio®️ and was giving the position of Vice President of Marketing/Entertainment! That’s one of the best risk I took in life ! Simply by being consistent with my goals ! Live Free and Take Risk is my motto!

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Well , I got my name International way before I self-funded over 20 countries touring the world ! I actually was born exact middle of the heart of America ! I eventually relocated to the DMV temporarily before attending my middle school in Europe (Germany). At that point , my life would never be the same ! Fast forward, I’d eventually moved to Texas where I attended the University of Houston for Marketing ! I began to gain popularity because of my on campus involvement and leadership in various organizations! To brand myself off campus as one of the youngest promoters in Houston ! I eventually took an opportunity to move back to the east coast during my last collegiate years ! I worked with Atlantic Records and a marketing firm whose client was Verizon! I worked with so many brands in entertainment and marketing ! I was motivated and inspired to build myself as a brand , International Kool ! I was highly interested in music but I loved entrepreneurship! So I decided to pursue both relentlessly! After spending years in New York working with acts like ; French Montana, Waka Flocka , and more . I decided to take my talents and expertise west ! Eventually returning to post educational studies in public relations and trade school in barbering/cosmetology while living in Los Angeles ! My networks expanded with clients from all sorts of entertainment celebrities and influencers ! I now would have gain the networks , knowledge, and resources to fund many of mine on ventures ! As well as gaining ambassadorships and accounts with various brands like Backwoods, Dutchmaster , Post , iHeart , and more ! Today, I now reside in the Hawaiian Islands and since became the ambassador for King Palm™️ and also BallnAudio®️ VP of Entertainment/Marketing ! I still continue to pursue my passion in music while leveraging business relationships! This is what it means to mean International.

How did you build your audience on social media?

Well firstly, a social media name from the beginning has to be authentically you ! It not only has to be creative , captivating but a reflection of your personality ! I choose my name , 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐊𝐨𝐨𝐥 , for obvious reasons ! I have lived in 5 states , 2 hemispheres , and an island ! So I figure that international is applicable along with my own travel experiences ! I began with the grassroots method ! Just engaging organically with people during my encounters ! If you’re sincere and intriguing , people will naturally want to engage more with you ! So be ready to have business cards or marketing material available for branding ! Make sure you continue to build rapport and engage back with your followers profiles too ! It’s important to build a relationship with your audience and fans .

Can you share one of your favorite marketing or sales stories?

A short while ago , I was a marketing consultant for two companies ! Ella Bing and Goorin Bros , at the time had no business relationship or collaboration ! I was eager to combine the two unique accessories for the ultimate haberdashery fashion design ! I leveraged my networks with the executives of the companies and formed a series of pop up shops in various city storefronts ! However , the most challenging event was the Las Vegas pop up summer party ! At the time no one had hosted an event of any sort at the Linq Hotel & Casino ! (Cesar’s Properties) I not only had a successful event but manage to have the launch of some apparel that is extremely popular wear in the U.S
