March 2020: The entertainment industry is heavily impacted by the coronavirus. Since mid March 2020, pretty much everything got shut down for an unknown period of time. Alot of creatives are wondering how to move or what to do. How to generate income to compensate their loss. What Now? is a series that I created to motivate and inspire creatives through Instagram Live (@payfresh). I talk to industry people who give their thoughts and ideas on how to navigate in these times. How they stay mentally and physically healthy and what keeps them inspired and motivated.

July 2020: Since I started the What Now? series, it took off as being more than just providing motivation and inspiration for creatives, everyone tuning in, and watching, is inspired and uplifted. All of my guests so far have been sharing their journeys, their hardships, their failures and successes. But also have been talking about their personal growth, progress and their daily mental and physical health routines.

All Live Talks can be viewed on my IGTV or YouTube channel (except for the first 3).
