Episode 45: If there is one thing Kwakes has never been afraid to do, it’s to try new things. Growing up in Lincoln Village in Worcester, he was surrounded by a very diverse culture. His neighborhood consisted of Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, West African cultures, Whites, Albanians and more. Looking back, he doesn’t think he’d be the same person he is today if he didn’t grow up in this environment because from a young age he was always sticking his nose out, trying new things and gauging on his personal ‘skills rating scorecard’ if it was something that stuck to him. Studying at Babson College made him realize grades didn’t matter for the ‘game’ that he was trying to play which was building the right relationships, always working hard and following through with what he said he was going to do. His radio/podcast show ‘Fresh Out The Mint’ was a product from Kwake running around Boston getting involved in anything that was of interest. He purchased a camera to shoot photos for artists and events, started blogging for Laced Boston, saw his coworker at Karmaloop chase her dreams becoming the DJ for Kehlani and was hosting underground hip-hop shows around the city called ‘The Earthquake’, packaging it as his own movement. Instead of wasting his money going out, he continued to invest into ideas he had which was something he had learned at a young age as he has always been very materialistic conscious. Interviewing people on the show has given Kwakes perspective and if he doesn’t walk away learning something then he feels he didn’t do his best. Recently he started ‘Inside the Vault: Looking Inside The Industry’, a series of panelists that answer questions and give insight on what’s happening in the music industry today. In this episode Kwakes discusses trying to be humbly confident in anything that he does, the difference between a hobby and a business is huge and extremely difficult to monetize, removing the safety net as he gets ready to start his new journey in Los Angeles, stopping to care and pour out negative energy for no reason, being laser focused and staying consistent, staying transparent in anything that he does and wanting to be remembered as a net positive. — Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
