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

Hi Errick, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The though process behind starting my own business was to one day own my TIME! While being a school teacher i’ve always wanted more for myself and wanted to put in the hours that I put in for my employer solely for myself! After doing my first couple of gigs and seeing that the pay that I made from one gig was more than I made in 2 weeks working 8 hours a day Monday through Friday, I knew that it was time for me to branch out and do my own thing. The goal is to live life on MY OWN TERMS and use my business to invest in real estate why still giving back and inspiring the youth through education.

What should our readers know about your business?
I run a business by the name of Read The Room Productions, which is production company in which specialize in entertainment and production for events worldwide! We provide DJ, Host, and 360 Photobooth Services.
