Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Seven Nance. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Seven , 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?
My resilience stems from observing my mom; she forged a path where none existed. She didn’t offer excuses or rely on others to solve her problems. Her strength, accountability, and determination to hustle and create opportunities that weren’t readily available demonstrated to me at a young age what it takes to succeed in any chosen world.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
As a kid from the fast-paced city of Fort Lauderdale, where we’re forced to mature early, my first lesson was hustle. This shaped my record label, Hustle By All Means Entertainment Inc, along with HBAM Films and HBAM Universe Clothing Company. The thrill in my job comes from transforming ideas into reality—be it music, films, or clothing—expressing my Florida upbringing through various creative forms. Now, as I prepare to launch my non-profit, my goal is to nurture children, guiding them toward their chosen paths and fostering growth.
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?
Discipline, imagination, and drive are three of my most prominent traits that propel me to the forefront of my field. The necessity for discipline is evident in dropping music, waking up, and working every day with a boss guiding me, all while making sacrifices for the betterment of my craft and business. Imagination is equally crucial. While some see empty spaces and blank apparel, I envision what will come to life through my creativity and ideas manifesting into reality. This process, often challenging for many, has always come naturally to me, recognizing that imagination is where a child can become anything without limitations. It’s only in adulthood that they instruct you to suppress this part and conform to the so-called “real world,” but in essence, there is no real world—only the one you carve out for yourself.
Lastly, my relentless drive is my unwavering determination to persevere through life’s challenges. In the world of entertainment, the behind-the-scenes work often goes unnoticed, with most only concerned about the show. Regardless of mental, physical, or emotional obstacles, I press forward because, as they say, all pressure can do to a rock is turn it into a diamond.
Advice to anyone be unapologetically about your dreams and do the work to master your purpose it’s yours and not for others to understand.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I’m seeking artists, creators, directors, and anyone in the entertainment field with dreams and goals to bring their stories and visions to life.
