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

Hi Lito, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Honestly, I feel that it’s my authenticity. I always stay level with the people and never act as if I’m above anyone. If I had to sum it up into one word, Relatable.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
For me, the 2a/Gun space or Youtube was never a thought. Growing up in the Chicago area, our role models were different. I looked up to my big homies on the block and never dreamed beyond the hood. However, I did develop a passion for music and entertainment, primarily the business side. I always want to know how things worked from the inside out. Youtube came about for me in early 2021. I had a buddy who was on youtube talking guns, and he encouraged me to try it since I owned a few firearms as well. Not to mention, I love to talk so it came pretty natural once I tried it.

I’ve manage to build a solid foundation in the 2a community through youtube. My focus has never been on channel growth, but more so relationship building and learning the business side. It’s definitely not easy, but I enjoy it. It’s awesome meeting cool people from all across the country with so much in common. I feel like I’ve already beat the odds being able to do something I enjoy.

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?
Well being from Chicago, we’d have to go and see some landmarks in and around the city. Chicago has tons of history. We would eat at several places in and around the city.

Food

First, one of my childhood favorites in Maywood, IL : AL’s diner
Then in no particular order;

Maxwell St (Jew Town)
Chicago’s Chicken & Waffles (Oak Park, IL)
MacArthurs Soul Food (West Side)
Uncle Remus (West Side)

For some great food and entertainment
Chemistry (Hyde Park) South Side

We would also hit the Gold Coast and do some shopping. Grab some Garrets Popcorn and call it a week.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I give it all to God first. Secondly my Family and then to all of those that have supported me in this short Journey
