He spends the majority of his time building his company and interviewing some of the greatest minds on the planet on his podcast the “Strange on Purpose." Collectively his videos, thoughts, podcasts, and writing have been viewed over 10 million times.

Izzy Lugo is COO at Urban Misfit Ventures, an 8-month-old, start-up holding company that Izzy confesses “pivots a lot.” One agency subsidiary, IEEG, specializes in storytelling and influencer marketing – often by creating a video to tell a brand's story. The influencer marketing portion of their work is based on stories told by influencers, but the influencers are Urban Misfit Venture's employees, each of whom has a massive individual following. Because the employees are the influencers, they can consult with clients and carefully craft the messages that need to be presented. No paying an influencer and trusting that individual to say “the right thing.” IEEG knows what message it wants to send . . . and knows it is going to get it. Urban Misfit Ventures' clients include Milwaukee's professional sports teams and national and international clothing and design brands, who are amazed that the agency and the influencers are one and the same. The second Urban Misfit Ventures' subsidiary, MKE Misfits, is an events company that tells the client's brand story, is very involved in that story, and then provides “quirky” experiential promotions to differentiate itself and its client companies. The company has a major reputation in the Milwaukee area. Urban Misfit Ventures is planning to introduce a number of other specialty subsidiaries I 2019. How did it all start? After a period of separate careers, Quentin, Izzy's college roommate, had met with two of the company's other founders, and then approached Izzy to pitch the idea of Urban Misfit Ventures. After an hour conversation, Izzy was on board, and two weeks later, he quit his job at the bike share. In eight months, the team has grown to 10 employees, including interns. When they started, they traded services for their space at a co-working space, truly starting from scratch. Izzy can be reached on his company's website at: urbanmisfitventures.com, as can anything related to IEEG or MKE Misfits. His company is also on LinkedIn and Instagram. Izzy, Israel Lugo III uses @IzzyLugo for all his handles..

A conversational, full-length interview with Israel Lugo (Izzy) and Quentin Allums (Q) from the MKE Misfits. We sat down with this dynamic duo to discuss their multiple ventures, how to grow from your failures, how the youth are defining a new Milwaukee, and the importance of amplifying voices from around our city. Izzy and Q offer a fresh perspective on Milwaukee and deliver inspiration to help you pursue your passions in Milwaukee.Producers: Benjamin Rangel, Kyle Hagge, Sam WoodsWebsite: bridgethecitypodcast.comInstagram: @BridgeTheCityPodcastTwitter: @BridgeTheCityWiEmail: Bridgethecitypodcast@gmail.comLogo Design: Ryan FlynnMusic: Casey Masters

From $- 900 in his bank account to full-time entrepreneur, Quentin Allums has demonstrated tremendous resilience in his path to starting the Urban Misfit Ventures. Talking to Quentin, I realized it's not about who believes in you. It's about how badly do you believe in yourself. When you feel like you're on the brink of failure, do you give up? Or do you inch closer to see what could be past that next horizon? Quentin is the Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of Urban Misfit Ventures; which owns IEEG, a storytelling company, and MKE Misfits a community & events company based out of Milwaukee. He was one of the first LinkedIn video storytellers & have since used the platform to accumulate millions of views and travel the world for speaking engagements such as VidCon 2018 and TEDx. In this episode, we talk about: ⚡️The Highs and Lows of Entrepreneurship ⚡️How to Build a Good Team ⚡️The Value Pivoting ⚡️How to Build an Online Community ⚡️ Why You Should Invest in People Quentin's Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tagjustq/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tagjustQ/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CloudofMusiQ/ Or you can find me on just about any platform @tagJustQ Connect with me: linkedin.com/in/tiffanyparra/ Follow me on IG: @tiffanyparra_ $upport the podcast: www.patreon.com/work_in_progress Join my community for podcasters: bit.ly/LIpodcasts Want to know what gear I use to produce the podcast? kit.com/TiffanyParra Tune in next Wednesday Nov 7th at 9 PM PST for another Real Talk livestream. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/work-in-progress/support
