@Regran_ed from @rookz - A couple of months ago I met the Editor of Small Business for the @globeandmail Sarah Efron, we had a great conversation and she told me one day she’d love to check out @sandboxstudios. A month later she popped up in my email and actually scheduled to come by. Her coming was already such a big look because for years I’ve read incredible small business stories in Canada’s most respected National newspaper. While at Sandbox she asked me, “if you could tell any story of sandbox what would it be?” And for me, it’s this one. It’s one about unnecessary and undeserving kindness from one person to another that changes the course of another persons life. It’s about my former landlord, mentor and friend Paul Copeland. The headline is true, I owed him almost $10K in rent and he didn’t evict me, he told me to figure it out. At the time I was blessed to have @abillionmyles & @beatsbyalterego volunteer and we worked at chipping away that debt. I had two jobs and the guys were hustling sessions at the studio. Finally I got a break by getting into @studioy at @marsdiscoverydistrict and used my stipend to get out of the hole. If you get a chance, read this story. It’s one of the moments that shifted my entire energy and life. This is the greatest gift I could ever give Paul, an already millionaire, letting the world know of his incredible heart and kindness. I hope this story encourages you not to focus on the challenges ahead, but instead on the solutions. #CreateFate #MondayMotivation #SandboxStudios #Entrepreneur #Canadian #GlobeAndMail #Newspaper #LinkInBio also, rocking my @alexis.eke tshirt because she’s dope.
