We had the good fortune of connecting with Ariel and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ariel, can you tell us about a book that has had a meaningful impact on you?
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a book that had a profound impact on me. The book is a story about a shepherd boy named Santiago who embarks on a journey to fulfill his dreams. Along the way, he meets various characters who teach him valuable lessons about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
What I liked most about the book was how it helped me shift my mindset. The book taught me that every problem has a solution and that we should never give up on our dreams. Santiago faced many obstacles on his journey, but he never lost sight of his goal. He remained focused and determined, and eventually, he achieved his dreams.
The book also taught me the importance of listening to my heart. Santiago was guided by his heart, and he followed his intuition even when it seemed illogical. This taught me that sometimes, we need to trust our instincts and take risks to achieve our goals.
Another lesson that I learned from the book was the power of positive thinking. Santiago believed that he could achieve his dreams, and he visualized his success every day. This helped him to stay motivated and focused on his goal.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for inspiration and guidance on their journey towards achieving their dreams.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others is my unique perspective and approach to my work. Everything I put out must be authentic. I am most proud of my ability to adapt to new challenges and learn from my experiences. Getting to where I am today professionally was not easy, but I overcame the challenges by staying focused on my goals and being persistent in my efforts. Along the way, I have learned the importance of being open to new opportunities, taking risks, and learning from my mistakes.
As for my brand and story, I want the world to know that I am passionate about what I do and committed to providing the best possible music my audience. My music is meant to inspire and uplift others. My brand is built on a foundation of integrity, professionalism, and creativity. I believe that by staying true to these values, I can continue to grow and succeed in my career.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Now you know I cant give the private locations away! Lol . I’m just kidding, but you do have to visit my YouTube channel (metaboss) to see my 2 favorite places to eat at. Honestly, my best friend and I would spend most of our time at my house. Going to the grocery store and cooking a gourmet meal while watching the hottest TV shows and building our businesses would be a wonderful time for the both of us. And, if we were to go out of the house, maybe botanical gardens would be the move. As far as food, we never visit the same place twice so we would be spontaneous and pick a new place every day to eat. I would recommend slutty vegan, Ruth’s Chris, and JJ’s fish and chicken. Those restaurants offer three different vibes so it’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
Absolutely! I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my mother (Melissa), grandparents (Mack, Ruby, Vickie and Rap), and my Partner Z, who have been my biggest supporters and mentors. They have always encouraged me to pursue my passions and have provided me with the guidance and resources I needed to succeed.
I would also like to recognize my close friends (Jazzy and Draya) who have been there for me through thick and thin. They have provided me with a strong support system and have always been there to offer words of encouragement and advice.
In addition, I would like to give credit to the organizations and communities that have helped me grow both personally and professionally. These include my alma mater, which provided me with a strong educational foundation, my Air-force Family, and My Colorguard Family back at McEachern High who have helped me network and develop valuable life long skills .
Lastly, I would like to thank my audience and customers who have supported me in my entrepreneurial endeavors. I want to give a Huge shoutout to my friends in Africa! Y’all are my biggest supporters when it come to music. Their feedback and support have been invaluable in helping me grow my business and achieve my goals.
Overall, I am grateful for the many people and organizations that have played a role in my success, and I am excited to continue learning and growing with their support.
