We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Malik Thomas a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Malik, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
Being homeless for the first time at the age of 15 I felt like I had no choice but to make a way for myself and not wait for someone else to help me
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I own a independent media brand called “Smoke Summ Incorporated” I help host shows, I preform and help Artist with their set list and getting ready to perform, I use my media brand to shine light on underground artist and give them a platform to be seen. I do photography, engineer and manage artist as a hobby so when you book my brand all those skills I’ve learned will be available
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
My work ethic and my ability to problem solve in the creation of music and my overall love for what I do, the only advice I could give someone is to help others compete their goals it will give you a clear sight on what you want to complete and goals you want to set.
How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?
Income, knowing I have to make the sacrifice to do what I love I have to continue to build the skills in order to build the income and it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to do!
