Lights, Camera, Action:The Kenny Burns Experience

"No matter where he worked, he was always Vice President...
Vice President of what exactly? I don't know..."
-Kanye West on Kenny Burns





If you don't know Kenny, I'll let you know one thing..."Aint no shame in his Game." He's the guy that is going for it ALL at ALL times. In a way, he approaches his business like Kanye approaches his entertainment--"You can't tell him nothing!" Hailing from the Sean Combs school of entertainment business, Kb is a hybrid (executive + entrepreneur + quasi-celebrity).

Yet at the core, he is the cat that is taking his dreams in his own hands and putting himself in position to make them happen. When I first encountered KB I was thinking to myself "is the camera on somewhere?" Then I realized that the Kenny Burns Show didn't need any camera's. All it needed was an audience. Whether it is an audience of 1 or 1,000, the "Show" rolled on,
and over time I got to see how the plot played out.

Jobs (VP RocA Fella,VP Monarc, )+ Businesses(2620,Ryan Kenny, Studio 43), + Consultation(Axe,Timberland, Heineken) + Resources=$$$ for Kenny and Plenty of others.

Dimitrious in New York Magazine

Congrats to Kareem Collie and Donald Franklin II, on the look they received in New York Magazine last week.The two are partners in Dimitrious, Inc.. a design firm based in Brooklyn (also the design team behind 21st Century Hustle Magazine's next 2 covers).

The Dynamic Duo was caught on the streets of Manhattan headed to a meeting when the reporter roped them into a short interview about style and fashion. However, them being Go Getters on the grind, it trancended into a business conversation.

An excerpt from the interview:

Do your looks help your business?
DONALD: When people meet us for the first time, before we even open our mouths, they get excited. They want to work with us. It's a certain atmosphere that we bring, a certain aura. It's all very connected.
KAREEM: I had a client walk into a meeting one day and say to me, "If you had come in here dressed any other way, I would ask to see your portfolio. But I can tell by the way that you're dressed, that you're sharp, and that you're on it. Let's just do it."
