Very Short Interview No. 1

The person that I chose to interview is Sean "Millz" Grant. Sean known as Millz to most of the public is the owner of Rain and Simons Nightclub in downtown Gainesville. He is a mature yet  young professional and has been the owner for almost a decade. I currently work with him and we collaborate on my entertainment group on campus. These are the questions that I asked him:

1. What is one of the hardest part about being an entrepreneur?

• "The hardest part about being an entrepreneur is that it gets really hectic and nerve wrecking at times in the beginning stages. A lot of the time in the beginning you are always wondering whether certain projects are going to work out or if someone in your crew decides to drop out." He also talked about how sometimes business and your personal life can sometime conflict and that it can cause a lot of relationships to end in the long run.  

2. What made you want to become an entrepreneur?

• Millz went on to talk about how he felt like there should be a change in the way people lookeed at entertainment. There was a crowd that needed to be catered to and he felt like he was the best person to do the job. He also mentioned how his experience starting as a promoter at a previous nightclub helped him when he decided to go to the next level.

3. What do you think is the most important thing for young entrepreneurs to know?

• "I think that the most important thing that they need to know is to never give up. No matter what may happen, what obstacles you may face or how many times people doubt you that you need to do you. It's always going to be someone in your face telling you that you not going to make it but you have to just put in work and prove them wrong"

After my interview with Millz it made me appreciate what he does a lot more. Being able to see how he started from the bottom as a simple promoter to owning his own nightclubs shows where perseverance can get you in life. You never know what someone went through from the outside all you see is the achievements and the success, but in actuality it took a long process to get there.
