Episode 5 - Fa'al Ali
Fa'al Ali, owner of the marketing company Eazy Media, recently opened his art gallery in the midst of the Covid crisis. The ILA Gallery is a place to display work by local and international artists. Fa’al wants to put money in the pockets of artists and empower them to grow and learn in a creative world. Fa'al has created a place to display local artists' work, he wants to put money in artists pockets and empower them to grow and learn in a creative world. <br />__<br /><br />ILA Gallery was opened 3 days before the stay at home order happened. Fa’al was able to pivot quickly with an e-commerce system he had set up when he opened the gallery. He also provided a by appointment only gallery showing once the stay at home was lifted and gave people a private gallery experience. Fa'al has always felt like a bootstrapper and is used to working with what's presented to him.<br /> <br />Fa’al grew up as a member of the Nation of Islam and credits his upbringing for his drive to give people a platform to create. On the podcast Fa’al discusses what it means to live by the doctrine “Each one teach one.”<br /> <br />I ask Fa’al if his idea of himself as a Black business owner has changed due to the Black Lives Matter movement and he talks about being in a position to step up, highlight black artists in his gallery, but also giving a platform to a diverse range of artists.<br /> <br />We discuss his first opening at ILA Gallery by Hiero Veiga, who is a Black artist. Fa’al wanted to set a precedent for the type of gallery he was going to have. The show is called "UPPITY" which is a term that has racist connotations for when black people might have been in a place they wouldn't have been expected to be.<br />__<br /><br />I ask Fa'al about his involvement in the current Black Lives Matter events Fa'al feels too old to be in the streets. He believes the new wave of civil rights is going to be economic. He is giving back by staying alive, educating the youth. Fa'al is part of Denver's Black Mural festival and created a movable mural in front of Denver's Capitol. His art piece was a piece he had created in the past when Trevon Martin was killed and was able to repurpose the work and get it out to a larger audience. <br /> <br />I ask if he has any struggles, he feels most of his struggles are financial and his major challenges are in the past. Fa’al feels lucky because of his network and community support, the work he is putting in has him feeling grateful. <br />__<br /><br />Outside of business Fa’al is a lover of adventures and the outdoors. He is a master scuba diver, snowboarder , and world traveler. He strives to be an ambassador for people of color to adventure in the outdoors. He's been part of several campaigns for Otterbox and Camber Outdoors, they give him a platform to share his voice.<br /> <br />I ask his thoughts on a solution for getting people of color in the outdoors. He mentions that it is a socio-economic issue and one quick solution is to educate people on proper equipment, and also educate companies how they can get proper gear into the communities that are in need. <br />__<br /><br />In the end Fa'al hits us with his definition of what it means to #BeAuthentic. <br />__<br /> <br />Resources: <br /> <br />ILA Gallery - <a href="http://www.ilaartgallery.com" rel="noopener">www.ilaartgallery.com</a><br />Eazy Media - <a href="http://www.EazyMedia.biz" rel="noopener">www.EazyMedia.biz</a><br />Heiro Veiga - @hieroveiga<br />Evan Majors - @mr.evanmajors<br />The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell<br />#BlackLivesMatter

Episode 3 - Monte Montepare
Monte Montepare and I grew up together in Summit County, Colorado. During our conversation, we catch up on the current state of what it means to be a comedian and adventure guide during the COVID Pandemic.<br /><br />Monte owns Kennicott Wilderness Guides in Kennicott Alaska, and for the past 4-5 years, he has been pursuing comedy and telling stories in Los Angeles. <br /><br />Kennicott Wilderness Guides is at the end of a 60-mile dirt road and offers trips into Wrangell- St. Elias National Park including; glacier hiking, ice climbing, pack rafting, and bush plane backpacking expeditions. <br /><br />Monte recently joined the Upright Citizen Brigade on a weekly show called Harold night. He talks about this being one of the big goals he had when moving to LA and diving into the entertainment scene. <br /><br />Monte talks about how COVID - 19 has affected his life, all of the ways he has of making money involve large gatherings of people or travel. Monte's momentum in his comedy pursuits came to a screeching halt and he is currently navigating the next phases of how he is going to operate. He is working on a creative way to engage through improv zoom, but discovering that its difficult for him and he is being pushed to develop other skills that are not his strong suit. <br /><br />We talk about Alaska and his guide business and the logistics that Monte has to navigate to figure out what the summer season will look like for his business. What does guiding in the COVID world look like? Monte keeps coming up short and realizing we still need more information before making any final decisions. <br /><br />Monte explains an authentic way of thinking about choices - Sometimes there isn't a good choice, sometimes the choices are all hard but you have to get somewhere.<br /><br />We hear about some of the local adventures he has been taking. Monte's been hanging out in the San Gabriel Mountains and finding new routes to the top of some of the peaks. Recreating close to home reminds Monte that you can still have big dreams about smaller places and be rewarded. <br /><br />We nerd out for a minute about pack rafting and fantasize about a desert river trip towards the end of the summer. <br /><br />Monte gives a great answer and deeply process' what it means to him to #BeAuthentic. <br /><br />____<br />Resources: <br /><br />@MonteMontepare<br />Kennicott Wilderness Guides - <a href="https://kennicottguides.com" rel="noopener">https://kennicottguides.com</a>/<br />@jon_goode - Moth Mainstage Host<br />@yogi.Jillian - Yoga Instructor<br />Bill Withers<br />John Prine
