We had the good fortune of connecting with Ali Ashtigo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ali, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Having a schedule, being focused, being determined, having the right mindset also being around and leaning from the right people.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My passion is Acting and Producing been at is since I was 24 years old and professionally. I was a late bloomer I got into acting near the end of college. What sets me apart from others is I create my own content, teamed up with others as well to create content. I produced a movie called Lanier that I am proud of also was the lead actor it is on Amazon Prime and Tubi. What also separates me is not like most actors I do work a remote sales job selling software I could not do the restaurant gigs. I do well in sales too worked for Grant Cardone for 1 year and now a top 10 performer at the company I work for now for Seamless.Ai. Acting and working a job is not easy even if it’s remote and flexible. You still have to produce and hit quota. The sales skills helped me with the producing side in film getting investors to invest and the work ethic. I also model part time for D&K suit city was on a billboard in Atlanta for a few years. I want people to know that I do have to work that much harder in the arts having a corporate job.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love piedmont park, a fun place to go when it’s chilly out or even summer time is PONCE city market if you’re a foody like myself. I am not a drinker but I do love the food in PONCE city market.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I learned a lot by working for Grant Cardone a real estate billionaire in Miami. I recommend his books sell or be sold and the 10X rule. I am not much of a reader but listening to his audios helped me a lot in my sales and producing career!
