Why no one cares about your startup

Why no one care about your startup, is not a diss or put down. From my calculation music artists have several stakeholders who are involved in their startup or should I say brand. Why aren’t you doing the same thing, as far as having several stakeholders involved in your startup? Hence, the reason nobody cares about your startup is you haven’t set up the right stakeholders who care about not only the operations of your startup but also the branding and impact of your startup on them.

You are going to love Korean Fried Chicken at KYU Miami

When I thought I had tried all the fried chicken in the world, here comes a new restaurant to add to my favorite spots in and around South Florida. KYU Miami is a great place to get your fix for Asian-Style eats.

KYU Miami is an Asian-inspired restaurant in Wynwood, a buzzing neighborhood in Miami. The ambiance is similar to walking into West Elm or the latest furniture picks for the Architectural Digest magazine. The warm welcomes from the host makes you forget you’re sitting an open concept style restaurant where conversations may overlap if you’re too loud. Therefore, don’t come here to break up with your significant other or serenade a new crush.

When I visit a restaurant, I am used to servers and server assistants hovering over me and my guest(s) if I let them know it is my first-time dining in their establishment. The server that night made me, and my guest feel good about explaining what was on the menu. We both can read; however, it is a pleasure to have each main ingredient explained to you in simple terms. In addition to that, in my opinion, the level of service from your waiter is crucial to the success of any dining experience. If your restaurant needs any server experience tips, please email us.

The Birth of a Nation

 

I challenge myself to never fall prey to loving money over the truth after seeing Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation” be ripped to shreds by the people who control American cinema.
“The Birth of a Nation” is a nice movie date type of film. The films overall grade by me was meh at best. It had poor execution of a great story about Nat Turner’s uprising against slave masters in 1831. This story really needed more of a support of outside historical events to pull the idea together without increasing the length of the plot.

Case in point; 1831 means the Haitian revolution had already passed and this was in the antebellum south; surely the news of this would’ve been spoken by both slaves and slave masters around various plantations. Because Haitians helped Americans win back Savannah during the American Revolution, I’m sure some of our flavor and military know how was left in the area. Which as a result gives more reason why 30 or so years later, those Haitians were able to free themselves out of bondage over the French. (This needs a movie for itself but I’m not on that right now.)
