Descripción

Artist, Omega, Entrepreneur. In this episode, I sit down with my guy Miles Thomas. We talk about everything from throwing parties at Howard to navigating life after college. We dive into the origin of Rebel Events, how it started with a party that actually lost money, and how the brand has grown into a post-grad nightlife movement. We also get into the business side of promotions, the importance of optics, and the mistakes people make when trying to collaborate. We talk everything from party promotion, being an independent artist, greek life, Howard University and much more. If you're figuring out life after college, building something of your own, or trying to stay true to yourself while chasing success, this conversation is for you. 00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw] – The First Rebel Events Party (And Losing Money) 02:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=140s] – How Rebel Events Survived After Graduation 05:09 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=309s] – Early Business Mistakes Running Party Promotions 09:24 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=564s] – Why Small Teams Work Better Than Big Groups 11:55 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=715s] – Transitioning Rebel Events From College to Post-Grad 14:44 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=884s] – The Power of “Optics” in Nightlife & Promotion 16:39 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=999s] – Why MulesChose Howard University 20:56 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=1256s] – Post-Grad Reality: Passion vs Corporate Career 26:30 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=1590s] – The Truth About the Content & Music Industry 29:25 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=1765s] – Why Most Creators Quit 37:08 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=2228s] – Jerry Springer & The Trap of Viral Content 43:41 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=2621s] – The Story Behind His Song “Long Distance” 48:25 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=2905s] – The Truth About Long Distance Relationships 56:26 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=3386s] – Advice for Entrepreneurs Balancing Passion & Career 1:00:37 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=3637s] – One Decision That Completely Changed His Life 1:10:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=4215s] – Real Talk About Fraternities & Identity After College 1:22:54 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=4974s] – The Truth About Greek Life  at Howard 1:32:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C01nnpIrgrw&t=5540s] – Final Advice
