We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tay 3K. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tay below.

Tay, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with what makes profitability in your industry a challenge – what would you say is the biggest challenge?

The biggest challenge about profitability in my industry is the lack of value from promoters and club owners. Working in the entertainment industry can be challenging when others don’t value your talent resulting in taking more opportunities that may not have a monetary profit in the hopes that it will create more opportunities. This can be discouraging when trying to build a substantial career.

Tay, 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?

Hey , My name is Tay3K I am a Host & Media Personality, I am a HBCU graduate who specializes radio/event hosting, live shows and concerts/tours with artists & DJs. Ive had the opportunity to MC/Host at some of the biggest club and event venues across the country including cities like DC , ATL , HTX , NYC , and MIA including festivals and concerts like Broccoli City Fest, SweetHeat Miami , Summer Jam HTX and more.

I have a passion for effective culture conversations and inclusive representation across all genders. I provide unforgettable experiences one event at a time. My goal is to bring the Tay3K Experience to the team and communities.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

The biggest lesson I had to learn in my industry is that nothing is personal even when it is. When you have a passion for something it’s very easy to take things personally from “missed” opportunities to accepting pay cuts the entertainment industry is very cut throat. What I’ve learned over the past 5 years is that taking this personally hinders you instead of helping, acknowledging your value and being diligent in your expectations up front allows you to be more prepared in moments where things could be perceived as personal

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

I would say “The Four Agreements” broadened my spectrum on life and opportunities by simplifying how life should be lived to avoid disappointment and let downs.
