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

Hi Michael, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
After years of working under managers that tried to take advantage of me and my talents, I decided enough was enough. I took the step so that I could have complete control of my business so that I could operate it and myself exactly how I wanted.

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.
What I bring to the table is a strong mix of versatility and high quality content. I have the means to bring you any kind of project come to life and can help take it to the next level while I’m at it. I’ve spent countless time working with others, learning how to elevate people’s ideas and projects while putting my own personal spice on it. While it may be difficult to truly understand the vision of those i work with, I dedicate as much time as possible to make sure it’s realized with its maximum potential.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
So if someone is coming to Atlanta for the first time, I’m taking em to go see a show. Atlanta has the best crowds for any type of music. Any show or venue is good but if it’s at the Tabernacle, the energy is unmatched.

For food, we actually taking a drive out to Smyrna. To get the best smoked wings and catfish in the city, gotta pull up on Chef La. Don’t Know what he doing in that smoker but it works

For some drinks, gotta go to Edgewood. Doesn’t even matter which spot, the whole street live. From Harold’s Chicken to Church, you can see Atlanta is one of its most raw forms

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There’s absolutely no one more deserving of a shoutout then my mother! She is my principal investor, biggest hype man, and so much more than I could ever give her enough credit for
