Just returned from an incredible day at the League of Originals Summit in Los Angeles! The spirit and resilience of entrepreneurship were palpable throughout the event. It was inspiring to hear amazing success stories from fellow entrepreneurs who have turned challenges into opportunities. The sense of community was truly heartwarming, with everyone supporting each other and sharing insights that can propel us all forward. It was also amazing to spend time with the creative legend and my dear friend, Jean Batthany. A big thanks to Vib Mathur for the invite, all the speakers and organizers for creating such a vibrant atmosphere. I’m excited to take these lessons back to my own ventures and continue building connections within this remarkable community! #LeagueOfOriginals #Entrepreneurship #Community #Innovation #Networking

How Humor Impacts Gen Z's Brand Perception? I had a conversation with Benjamin Soto, a 23-year-old freelance photographer, about how brands using nostalgia, self-deprecating humor, and cultural relevance deeply resonate with Gen Z. He shared how Sweethearts' Valentine's Day campaign, which humorously played on blurry relationships, perfectly captured his generation's dating experiences and childhood memories. Gen Z values humor that authentically reflects their experiences. Curious about how humor connects brands with Gen Z? Check out the comment section.
