Friends Of The Mercer: Sim.
We chatted with @simfromthehill , and he shared with us what he is currently working on, a piece of advice, New York, and one thing he is looking forward to. Q: What's something you're looking forward to? "4th quarter this year gon be a movie. A couple wavy business trips lined up, new ventures.... This the trailer for 2027. Shit bouta be crazy puto yall gon see!" Q: What makes New York so great for you? "I love the way NY activates ur hustle. In any given space u know there's ppl on both ends of living and shit either gon motivate u or discourage u. There's someone grinding to merely survive and on the same train cart there's someone chasing their biggest dream that's gonna 180 their life." Q: What's one piece of advice you'd give to others? "We in a golden era of a gold rush. Take advantage of this time rn! Bet on yourself. Turn up the systems that help u accomplish ur goals so u could have ya way with this shit." Q: What are you currently working on? "Same thing I've always worked on; just a new level of it. Still culture bridging and structure building... tryna make everything we've cultivated make sense in the bigger picture."
