We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Nick Slay. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Nick below.
Nick , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Are you able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen?
Graduating College in 2016 and not being unsure of my path was a monumental life changing moment! Moving to Atlanta right after graduation and working as an intern was the turning point for my life. Summer of 16’ I took an internship in Atlanta with hopes of learning the ins and outs of the entertainment industry!
The internship lasted for a year and taught me immeasurable amounts of knowledge. Things that I couldn’t learn in the classroom. Money was a stressor and I didn’t see any of that until year #2 into the business! It took perseverance and humbled hearted thoughts, even knowing what I was worth!
6 years into the business and all I can think about is what I’ve overcome And what I’m blessed to be doing right now!

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The ability to expand your creative vision however far you are willing to take it! The richest blessing ever is to be able to wake up and feed my family from my hunger and ambitions!
There was so many issues at the beginning and still challenging aspects, but waking up knowing how to attack those days makes it easier! Being able to navigate and function at high intensity in the midst of chaos is now a proud moment!
Attacking challenges with a new faithfulness to the grind and what is asked of me.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Watching my entire family be happy and blessed from my daily efforts! I wake up everyday praying I get enough time to build for them like I need to! So I know for a fact that what matters to me is ALWAYS on the front of my brain.
Who I do it for and why I do it is everything in the world for me!
